520    "In the tradition of "Bringing up Bebe" and "French Toast,
       " Cathy Yandell's "The French Art of Living Well" is a 
       delightful look at French culture, from literature to 
       cuisine to humor and more, showing how the French have 
       captured that magic elixir known as joie de vivre. What is
       joie de vivre, and why is it a fundamentally French 
       concept? In search of those ineffable qualities that make 
       up the joy of living, this lively book takes readers on a 
       voyage to France through forays into literature, history, 
       and culture. How does art contribute to daily life? Why is
       cuisine such a central part of French existence? Why are 
       the French more physical than many other cultures? How do 
       French attitudes toward time speak volumes about their 
       sense of pleasure and celebration? And finally, to what 
       extent is this zest for life exportable? These and other 
       questions give way to a dynamic sketch of French life 
       today. Peppered with anecdotes and humor, this book 
       uncovers some of the secrets of the celebrated French art 
       of living well"--|cProvided by publisher.
