Description
Un politico italiano, sul punto di raggiungere l'apice della sua carriera, precipita. Prima perdendo elezioni dall'esito apparentemente scontato, poi - a distanza di qualche mese - rischiando di perdere anche la vita. La malattia cambia la prospettiva del protagonista, dei familiari, di due suoi ex collaboratori (divisi tra chi è immerso ancora nel fallimento e chi ha provato a farsene una ragione senza esagerare con gli scrupoli). Il ricovero del "vecchio segretario" inaugura per tutti il tempo dei bilanci. Sullo sfondo il clima che accompagna la decadenza della sinistra ex comunista del nostro Paese e la ferocia che caratterizza il nuovo corso. Il declino di un'intera classe dirigente, in qualche modo di una generazione, trascina con sé anche una parte della generazione successiva. È la storia di un mondo nella sua fase morente. La vicenda reale da cui prende le mosse è per molti aspetti emblematica, una vicenda in cui coincidono la sconfitta e la malattia. Quanto brusca è la caduta dalla soglia di Palazzo Chigi a una camera operatoria nella quale si entra senza certezze?
About the author
Alice Waters is the visionary chef and owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. She is the author of four cookbooks, including Chez Panisse Vegetables and Fanny at Chez Panisse. In 1994 she founded the Edible schoolyard at Berkeley's Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School, a model curriculum that integrates organic gardening into academic classes and into the life of the school; it will soon incorporate a school lunch program in which students will prepare, serve, and share food they grow themselves, augmented by organic dairy products, grains, fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish--all locally and sustainably produced.
David Lance Goines is a Berkeley printer and designer whose friendship with Alice Waters goes back more than thirty years. His famous posters, including his annual Chez Panisse birthday posters, are in the permanent Collections of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., the Musée des Arts Décoratifs at the Louvre in Paris, the Achenbach Foundation at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.
Summary
Chez Panisse is a restaurant in Berkeley, California, run by Alice Waters and her large group of friends. Her daughter Fanny's stories of this busy place are a friendly and funny introduction to the delights of real restaurant life, and her recipes show how easy and inexpensive it is to make good food with basic ingredients and simple techniques. Opening up the magic world of cooking to children, Alice Waters describes, in the words of seven-year-old Fanny, the path food travels from the garden to the kitchen to the table. Teaching kids where food really comes from not just from the market but from farms and people who care about the earth, Fanny at Chez Panisse has lessons on the importance of eating with your hands, of garlic and of composting and recycling. It is also a delightful beginner's cookbook with 46 recipes that will tempt children into the desire to cook and eat with whole hearts, alert minds and all the senses. From banana milkshakes and green apple sherbet to cherry tomato pasta and black beans and sour cream, as well as spaghetti and meatballs, french fries and pizza, there is something here for every child to prepare and enjoy.
