Piu Marie Eatwell

4.9/5 (9535 ratings)

Description:From the inside of the bookcover:He is an over-sexed, chain-smoking serial adulterer whose breath reeks of garlic. When he is not force-feeding geese or deserting his allies in wartime, he is thinking about his next extramarital affair. his chic, pencil-thin wife is shoulder-shruggingly tolerant of her husband's liaisons. Not least because she is engaged in several of her own, which she juggles effortlessly with raising five well-adjusted children and holding downa top job.He leaves work mid-afternoon and enters a Left Bank cinema, where he watches a film in which nothing happens. Thereafter, he drinks absinthe in a bar peopled by Gauloises - puffing intellectuals talking about post-structuralism. His appetite sharpened by realisation of the meaninglessness of human existence - and by anticipation of his regular cinq a sept with Sylvie in her chambre de bonne - he orders food. The steak is almost raw and the meat comes from a horse.He, of course, is the mythical Frenchman.About no other nation do we construct as many myths and legends as we do about the French. In They Eat Horses, Don't They?, Piu Marie Eatwell explores the background to, and evidence for, more than forty of the most persistent of those myths - in areas that range from sex to smoking, from food to film, from wine to women and from Paris to plumbing. What she discovers in the course of her thoroughly entertaining investigations will overturn many of the reader's most cherished preconceptions about the lifestyles of our Gallic neighbours.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
