Sinossi
Corrispondente da Parigi per il New Yorker, in questa sorta di diario sentimentale Adam Gopnik ripercorre i cinque anni trascorsi nella ville lumière insieme alla moglie Martha e al piccolo Luke. Con gli occhi dell’«americano a Parigi», esplora e osserva la città fin nei suoi angoli più intimi, cogliendo appieno la dicotomia tra la pomposità della cultura ufficiale e «la più splendida civiltà dei luoghi comuni mai esistita»: quell’amalgama unico e irripetibile creato dai café, dai parchi, dai musei, dall’alta moda, dalla luce sui tetti e dalla ritrosa cortesia degli abitanti. In pagine pervase dall’ironia e dalla sottile tensione tra due culture che si guardano con reciproco sospetto e ineffabile attrazione, come in una chiacchierata tra vecchi amici, Gopnik ci fa riscoprire una città romantica, ingarbugliata, fragile, ma anche moderna, concreta e, soprattutto, orgogliosamente viva.

I have to be honest. I bought this book because I liked the title. Then I got sucked in by the back cover. Who doesn't think the idea of running away w/ your adult family to Paris wouldn't be fantastic? Gopnik is excellent at revealing the sutle differences between life in the States and France that Leggi tutto
I am one of those people (and we are legion) who have an unrequited love affair going with Paris. It's not that Paris disdains or rejects me, of course; Paris has no idea I exist and wouldn't care less if she knew. Sigh. Adam Gopnik's book is one more love letter from another lover of Paris, and his Leggi tutto
The first reason this book was written, I believe, was so the author could impress all us ignorant English speakers with his knowledge of French. Actually, he should have just written this book in French and not annoyed us English speakers at all. The second reason was to greatly impress us with hav Leggi tutto
کتاب شامل ۹ جستاره و موضوعات خیلی متنوعی رو شامل می‌شه. تمایزی که نسبت به باقی کتاب‌های جستار نشر اطراف داره، رویه‌ی علمی‌تر و تحلیلی‌ترِ نویسنده در مواجهه با موضوعات کتابه. مثلا در یکی از جستارها آدام گاپنیک راجع به شکل‌گیری ذائقه‌ی خوراک آدم‌ها حرف می‌زنه و از سه رویکرد مختلف و با نمایندگی سه نویسن Leggi tutto
"دیدار اتفاقی با دوست خیالی" مجموعه جستارهایی است از آدام گاپنیک. از نکات جالب این کتاب پرداخت موشکفانه‌ی موضوعات پیش پا افتاده است که گاپنیک توانسته از درون آن‌ها حجم وسیعی از اطلاعات را ارائه دهد. جملات کتاب ساده و روان است. مسائلی که در این اثر به آن پرداخته کاملاً ملموس است؛ برای مثال گاپنیک جست Leggi tutto
One of my very favorite reads of all time. Adam Gopnik has a lovely way with words, specifically words that detail everyday, real life. I have found very few writers who have such power to keep me enthralled no matter what the subject matter. I had the privilege of hearing him lecture a few years ba Leggi tutto
