Jordi Llavina Boeken

An enchanting celebration of life's small pleasures, this little book captures the French imagination and art of living a good life. Each chapter features a small pleasure that is both uniquely Gallic and universal. From the smell of apples maturing in a cellar to the gentle whir of a bicycle dynamo at dusk to turning the pages of a newspaper over breakfast, to the joy of a snowstorm inside a paperweight . . . Recounted with a lively, innocent curiosity about the little things that make life worthwhile, this is an unforgettable, absorbing read to be savoured at length by everyone looking to create more peace and joy in their lives.

Llavina al cent per cent, un observador nat. Va ser, secret, un rusc magranasupervivent del darrer esplet. Avui,en canvi, és el cadàver d’una per dins, conserva un gruix de grans desfets,negrós, velat de podridura blanca.I, com la sang que es va escorrent del xaipenjat, se n’ha escolat el suc vinósfins a l’última gota. Fosca, ingràvida,la carcassa ―unes bastes castanyoles―branda agafada al branquilló espinós,deixada de la mà de déu del vent.
