Texto en ingl�s. 24 x 21. Tela editorial tapa dura con dorados en lomo y sobrecubierta de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados ni anotaciones. Buen estado de conservaci�n. In modern France, as in centuries past, village life revolves around the school, post office, shops, and railway station--the centers where people meet to exchange news and gossip. Marie-France Boyer's beautiful book is a visual distillation of village life in France today, where the traditions live on in the cafe that doubles as a charcuterie, or in the small hotel (awarded no stars in the guide books) that provides long tables and decorative settings for local wedding receptions. We see the young adults who help keep the village viable and thriving. Boyer's text allows them to speak to us in their own words: the boulangare, who serves her many customers from a modern mobile bakery, the gendarme, who keeps a photograph of his wife and children inside his cap, and the incumbent mayor standing proudly in her office beside the bust of Marianne, symbol of the French Republic. This delightful record of French villages will prove irresistible to all those who love France and to anyone who appreciates the traditions of small-town life.

Rese�a del editor:

In modern France, as in centuries past, village life revolves around the school, post office, shops and railway station, the centres where people meet to exchange news and to gossip. This is a visual distillation of village life in France today, where the traditions live on in the cafe that doubles as a charcuterie or in the small hotel (awarded no stars in the guide books) that provides for wedding receptions. We see the young adults who keep the village way of life viable and thriving. The text allows them to speak to use in their own words: the boulangere, who serves her many customers from a modern mobile bakery, the gendarme, who keeps a photograph of his wife and children inside his cap, and the incumbent mayor standing proudly in her office beside the bust of Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic.. NOTA: El libro no est� en espa�ol, sino en ingl�s.
