By the author of the international bestseller The Hills of
Tuscany and the New York Times Notable Book A
Vineyard in Tuscany.
This sun-drenched land has become synonymous with the ideal
life. But it didn't happen by chance. Since the Etruscans, the
independence-loving Tuscans have treated their breathtaking
countryside with sagacious respect and built hamlets and hill towns
in which they perfected a culture of simplicity, beauty,
neighborliness, good food, and love of daily life.
Ferenc Máté has lived in Tuscany for twenty years.
Through personal experience and anecdotal history he explores the
sources of this idyllic existence, which provides continuous
economic stability, physical and emotional security, and a
fortifying sense of belonging. From their organic gardens to their
mouthwatering cuisine, from high-quality, craftsmen-made products
and family-run businesses to the joys centered in human contact and
community, Tuscans live a healthy, all-senses-satisfying,
emotionally rich life. Máté -- engaging, funny, and
insightful -- nudges us all to live like Tuscans. With our frantic
world so storm-tossed and rudderless, this might just be the
book for our times.
