The third book in the series after "A Year in Provence" and "Forever Provence". Provence, a magical place on the Mediterranean coast, gave birth to French troubadours, gave birth to Cézanne and Van Gogh, and nourished Picasso... It was not until the arrival of Peter Mayer that it took off its veil and became a name that is sweet in the mouth and fragrant in the nose. "Return to Provence" records the joyful moments of Peter Mayer and his wife returning to their hometown. So many beautiful places in the world have become the same, but Provence still retains its unique style and character. It makes people happy and annoyed, like an old friend with a full personality and his own way of doing things. But its spirit of enjoying life and its ability to seek happiness from simplicity are like the olive groves on the sunny slopes, always full and green.

A leisurely and interesting dictionary of slow life in Provence. In "All About Provence", Peter Meyer talks about it in his usual humorous and playful style, taking us to appreciate the "slight drunkenness of the wine estate" and appreciate the "indulgence". You can enjoy the grand occasion of "Festival of Prayers of Song and Dance", witness the "Provence Speedster", examine the "Hannibal's Footsteps", listen to the "Vase of Grape Sonata", enjoy the subtle fragrance of the "Fragrant Paradise", and taste various "French delicacies". While we follow Peter Meyer to enjoy the lazy and comfortable life in Provence, we also laugh at his humor from time to time.

It includes "A Year in Provence", "Return to Provence", "All About Provence" and "Provence Forever", a total of four volumes. In Provence, time slows down and years flow shallowly, stroking the soul of every hurried life, returning to the peace of mind, and quietly feeling the freedom and joy of life. Zhu Yilong recommends the most classic works in the Provence series. Reading can make up for the places that cannot be reached by walking. After reading this set of books, I hope you can find gurgling joy at the fingertips of Peter Mayer. If you are lucky enough to visit Provence, it will stay with you for the rest of your life.

The book "Simple Life Is So Good" contains the life that each of us dreams of. There is a house here, and the sunlight flows through the bedroom glass window like a stream. When I wake up and read in front of the window, all I see when I look up is green. There is also a garden where you can relax on a windy afternoon and watch the sun dye the sky pink and purple like a gorgeous bonfire. As night falls, hold a happy party and wait for the stars to appear. Perhaps in life, you and I can only squeeze into a corner of the city to survive and grow old quietly. Such soft and green dreams as described by Peter Mayer are, my God, pure fantasy. But what does it matter? Just take a swim in ordinary life and clarify the true nature of life. You can also read a book called "It's Good to Live Simple".

It is human to make mistakes, but forgiveness is the great virtue of dogs. A maverick dog smiles at the kindness and small things in the world. "A Dog's Opinions on Life" is the most humorous work by Peter Mayle, author of "A Year in Provence". The maverick little dog Zai Zai thinks he has something in common with the literary giant Proust. They are both French, like to think, and love biscuits. Zaizai also has unique insights into the passing years in this world. For example, in its view, humans always have to find a high-sounding excuse for drinking; domestic cats are just a bunch of self-righteous and unsociable furballs, and women holding photos of domestic cats are really hopeless; thinking about mysterious events is harmful to health, and don't most philosophers end up crazy and buy drunkenness with wine? ... How about it, do you want to take a walk with Zaizai?

It is this book that makes "Provence" synonymous with leisurely life, a glass of wine, a comfortable chair, and listening to the gurgling flow of simple time! After working in the advertising industry on Madison Avenue in New York for 15 years, the Englishman Peter Mayer quit his job and moved to Provence, France in 1987. Unable to suppress his love for the local customs and folk customs, he wrote "A Year in Provence", a casual act that became a classic and set off a global trend of pursuing quality life. A farmhouse, a vineyard, and a soul escaping from the city. He uses elegant and humorous words to record the freedom and joy of these twelve months, leading countless anxious hearts to stay in a kind of happiness called enjoying time.

Zhu Yilong recommends, following "A Year in Provence", another Provence series by Peter Mayle! A chair, a ray of time, a heart free from anxiety, follow Mel to stay in peace in Provence. That year, Mel moved to Provence, France. Unable to suppress his love for the local customs and customs, he wrote "A Year in Provence", which became a classic and set off a global trend of pursuing quality life. A few years later, Mel, immersed in the life in Provence, filtered out the freshness of his first visit, and wrote down the most ordinary life interests and human stories in this land with simple and strong words, showing the unique feelings of the Provence people under the unique scenery, which is "Forever Provence".
