Under the Tuscan Sun

Tuscany is a true paradise on earth, a unique combination of history, culture, and traditions. This region of Italy makes you want to return again and again. And that's exactly what Frances Mayes did. Unable to resist the temptation to... buy a farmhouse in the vicinity of Cortona, she broke away from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco and decided to enjoy the sun, the aromas of fruits and herbs, to study Etruscan traditions, to dream, and to master the subtleties of local cuisine. The author's beautiful language, abundance of details, vivid colors, seasonal recipes - along with Mayes, you seemingly embark on a journey through the picturesque corners of rural Italy, becoming part of the classical architecture and rediscovering yourself. A cult bestseller for 25 years.
