Description
France is often portrayed as a country where elegance and luxury reign. However, the life of the French is actually much more complicated than it seems at first glance. Outwardly they appear to be true lovers of pleasure and experts in fashion, who value love and gastronomy, spend time drinking wine on sunny terraces while discussing fashion and love—yet they don’t strain themselves much at work, preferring to go on strike. But behind this image lies a far more multifaceted reality. This book reveals little-known facts about the lives of the French, showing that the picture many people have formed doesn’t always match the truth. Writer and historian Dina Kulikova offers a new look at the French way of life by examining their attitudes toward fashion, food, and leisure—and perhaps some discoveries will surprise readers.
