Book: Die Kunst, Champagner zu trinken (The Art of Drinking Champagne)
Translated from French into German by Brigitte GroßeAbout the Book:Two women writers, one shared passion: Amélie and Pétronille are forever chasing a high—through literature and through champagne. In Paris, they attend a tasting at the Ritz; they celebrate in London and in the Alps. But there are demons that cannot be drowned, not even in the finest sparkling wine. A fizzy, effervescent novel about intoxication—and an ode to friendship.About the Author:Amélie Nothomb loves champagne, but she doesn’t enjoy drinking it alone. So she seeks out kindred spirits who cultivate the art of intoxication as devotedly as she does. At a reading, she meets Pétronille, a woman who resembles a fifteen-year-old boy, knows Amélie’s books, and soon publishes a novel of her own. Amélie realizes at once: with Pétronille, one can not only share cherries, but drink champagne as well. From then on, the two always find the perfect excuse to indulge their little vice. After Amélie’s visit to Vivienne Westwood, they meet in London; they ring in the New Year with Pétronille’s communist parents in the Paris suburbs; and even on the ski slopes they can be spotted with a bottle in hand. But suddenly, a hangover mood descends.Produktinformation: Gebundenes Buch Erstauflage: 2019 Sprache: Deutsch Seitenzahl: 160 ISBN: 978-3257261493
Buch "Die Champagner Fürstin" von Annette Fabiani
As a young girl, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot survived the French Revolution. She emerged stronger from every setback. And after her husband’s death, she built a global empire from a few vineyards. No wonder, then, that in 1858, Jeanne Pommery sought the advice of the elderly lady in Reims when she unexpectedly became a widow and had to hold her own as the heiress of a wine business in a ruthless, male-dominated world. The self-assured Jeanne learned a great deal from the experienced Barbe-Nicole. And eventually, she succeeded in conquering the market with a novel brut champagne. But this suddenly puts her in direct competition with her mentor… A novel by Annette Fabiani Produktinformation: Taschenbuch Erstauflage: 2022 Sprache: Deutsch Seitenzahl: 528 ISBN: 978-3442492688
