The writer with a claim to being the world's foremost literary escape artist is back, with an intoxicating novel about the business and pleasure of wine, set in his beloved Provence. Max Skinner has recently lost his job at a London financial firm and just as recently learned that he has inherited his late uncle's vineyard in Provence. On arrival he finds the climate delicious, the food even better, and two of the locals ravishing. Unfortunately, the wine produced on his new property is swill.

"A joyous return to Peter Mayle country, a rollicking caper set on the Cote d'Azur and in the luscious landscape of Provence. Bennett, an English expatriate living in France, has champagne tastes and a vin ordinaire bankroll. He has abandoned a successful career and found an ideal village in which to idle. But when a business scheme fails to work out, he finds himself broke. Not a man to be downhearted, he places an advertisement in the International Herald Tribune volunteering his services-anything considered. The most attractive response comes from a rich Englishman named Julian Poe, who has developed a means of producing superb truffles and is close to cornering the lucrative truffle market. Bennett signs on and -- bliss! -- he finds himself in Monaco and able to live in a style to which he has wished to become accustomed. But soon -- sniffing the financial potential of the truffle -- Sicilian and Corsican Mafiosi intrude. Life gets somewhat hectic. Ham-fisted goons, gendarmes working at cross-purposes, French village busybodies, and an order of Monks dedicated to the god Bacchus all play a role in a surprising and satisfying denouement. A generous, delicious serving of vintage Mayle." ...

Vivir En Provenza Peter Mayle El autor nos deleita con divertidas anécdotas de contrabandistas que pasan la aduana con un bolso de viaje lleno de trufas, del hallazgo de un hombre cuya ambición es conseguir a toda costa que sus sapos canten la Marseillaise, de la busqueda de oro en el fondo del jardin, de las lecciones de pastis y de la lucha contra los incendios forestales.

When billionaire Francis Reboul finds himself on the wrong side of a Russian tycoon, he's fortunate to have vacationing friends Sam Levitt and Elena Morales on hand to help him out. Now it's up to Sam--who's saved Reboul's neck before--to negotiate with an underworld of mercenaries, hit men, and Mafioso, to prevent his friend from becoming a victim of "Russian diplomacy." As usual, Sam and Elena still find time to enjoy the good life, but as Sam's sleuthing draws him closer to the truth, he realizes Reboul might not be the only one in trouble. Rich with clever twists, sparkling scenery, and mouthwatering gustatory interludes as only Peter Mayle can write them, "The Corsican Caper" is an adventure "par excellence."

Gustos De Rico Peter Mayle Los hábitos consumistas de los adinerados me han intrigado durante años, dice Peter Mayle. Sobre todo, tenía curiosidad por saber si el valor de sus pequeños lujos equivalia realmente a su precio. ¿Pagaban por algo especial, o provenia el verdadero placer, el cosquilleo en las venas, de un sentimiento codicioso de poder tener lo que se quiere siempre que se desee, y al diablo con el precio? En Gustos de rico, le explica todo lo que los ricos (y los que disfrutan con la riqueza ajena) necesitan saber, incluyendo los gastos de tener una querida satisfecha, los pros y contras de los sirvientes, la etiqueta correcta en una limousine, los aspectos mas refinados de escoger y fumar un puro genuino, la segunda residencia perfecta, lo que los ricos tienen en comun con las cabras de Cachemira y mucho mas. Aderezado con consejos practicos y el inimitable ingenio e ironica sangre fria de este viajero erudito.
