The old man Peter Meier made good use of induction, and he briefly summarized Provence in one sentence: "Provence is the only place in the world where you can
stay comfortable without doing anything ."
I watched the novel by Peter on TV. In the adaptation of "A Good Year" (A Good Year), the glorious southern French sun also reveals
the moment of breakfast with Peter under the Lumaran sun . It was a very pleasant time. Under the September sun Luberon mountains, Peter Mayle - he likes people to call him Peter - smile than the sun
still bright light. Moreover, in the smile, there is surprisingly childlike joy.
He is well-educated and never forgets to say: "If you don't mind" before putting on sunglasses.
Provence gave him too much inspiration. I saw him last year. He is writing a new novel about an elegant thief who steals wine. So, in order to write the clues of this story, he also went to Los Angeles and Napa Valley, a red wine producing area in nearby California.
I only recently saw his 2004 novel "A Good Year of Time". Several of his books and their Chinese titles have succeeded in being very confusing, basically reaching the level of people buying
different editions of the same book. Purpose.
Having said that, I sympathetically remembered that Peter told me that he had never seen his Chinese translation. He seems to have a poor understanding of his influence in the domestic petty bourgeoisie circle.
Almost at the same time I saw his novel, I also bought a disc.
In the film, the vast vineyards stretch to the horizon. Under the Provence sun, the grape leaves swing in the wind and make a rustling sound.
Russell - British financial elite Crowe plays Max vineyards now stand his uncle left him, watching childhood through this place, every corner
off is full freedom of warm memories. Today, he, like all social backbones, enjoys a life with the label "success", and has to accept the ravages of this society that all social backbones will suffer.
The little actor freddie highmore, who played the role of childhood Max, is really a little actor, and he showed Max's aggressiveness and intelligence to the fullest.
The movie is still intuitive, contrasting the fast-paced and high-intensity of the London financial trading industry with the laid-back atmosphere of the Provence countryside. The film changes the place where the story takes place from
Bonnieux on the plains to the more visually striking ancient city of Gordes.
Of course, in the end, no surprise, the Provence philosophy of life won, and Max found his inner home and life partner in this leisurely and magical place.
In the sun, drinking the local rose wine, I smiled and said to Peter, I don't know how much the Provence government gave him, and he helped Provence do so many advertisements.
At this time, Peter said seriously that his favorite place was Provence. To be precise, it is the Luberon Mountains. The air is fresh, full of desolate and countryside scenery, and at the same time there is such a delicious restaurant, people are interesting and pay attention to the quality of life. Such a good hotel, many details of life are full of artistic atmosphere. Winter is short and the sun is shining.
Here, he worked hard for 4 hours every day from nine in the morning to one in the afternoon, and never worked after eating. You can fully enjoy life.
It is also more able to concentrate on work here. "
I have seen a few of Max’s prototypes in Provence in the film. I was very impressed with one of the couples. They settled near Aix. Vineyard owner Rupert Birch was a successful investment bank executive in the UK, 10 years ago I resigned and started to re-invest in a new business. Because I love wine too much, I went to Dijon University to study wine again, bought a piece of land in Provence, and started producing wines of my own brand. It took 7 years to achieve financial profitability. Rupert's life is exquisite. , Rich in literature and music.
I always remember the afternoon we drank in his manor. It was a very pleasant thing to talk about Mozart, Borobudur, and Amankora in Bhutan that everyone had visited. His wife Mary Mertens, before they started this business, was the president of KENZO Europe. Such successful people eventually retired to Provence, and it was not an individual. There must be their reasons.
There is no way to describe this reason, I can only feel and breathe by myself. Under the warm sunset, the couple cuddled each other, behind their estate Domaine de la
Brillance, the endless vineyards, and further away, Cezanne's Saint Victor mountain stands majestic in the sunset, like a cast The tenth of the sacrament, his face is calm and his eyes are bright.
