Notă biografică
Chris Stewart shot to fame with Driving Over Lemons in 1999. Funny, insightful and real, the book tells the story of how he bought a peasant farm on the wrong side of the river, with its previous owner still resident. It became an international bestseller, along with its sequels - A Parrot in the Pepper Tree, The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society and The Last Days of the Bus Club.In an earlier life, Chris was the original drummer in Genesis (he played on the first album), then joined a circus, learnt how to shear sheep, went to China to write the Rough Guide, gained a pilot's license in Los Angeles, and completed a course in French cooking. His sort of prequel, Three Ways to Capsize a Boat, fills in his lost years as a yacht skipper in the Greek islands.
Recenzii
Chris Stewart is one of life's bold originals
When an author is as modest and humorous as this, his story cannot be told too often.
Exquisite. In Driving Over Lemons the anecdote flourishes once more.
It is easy to enthuse about the simple pleasures of life, but hard to write about them well. Stewart's gift is to do so with the carefree manner of someone you've just met in a bar, and who is buying the drinks.
A wonderful book - funny, affectionate and reaching deep beneath the skin. Tuck it into your holiday luggage and dream
A funny, observant and personal account of what a man can learn, and what there is to appreciate in life. Marvellous
You just can't fail to like him and the world he spreads out for you: wayward sheep, eccentric ex-pats, hospitable (and slightly barmy) neighbours... Mr Stewart is that rare thing, the real McCoy
Endearing, heart warming, self-deprecating, sometimes surreal... charming stuff
