Italy's Native Wine Grape Terroirs
Italy’s Native Wine Grape Terroirs is the definitive reference book on the myriad crus and the grand cru wine production areas of Italy’s native wine grapes. Ian D’Agata’s approach to discussing wine, both scientific and discursive, provides an easy-to-read, enjoyable guide to Italy’s best terroirs. Descriptions are enriched with geologic data, biotype and clonal information, producer anecdotes and interviews, and facts and figures compiled over fifteen years of research devoted to wine terroirs. In-depth analysis is provided for the terroirs that produce both the well-known wines (Barolo, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino) and those not as well-known (Grignolino d’Asti, Friuli Colli Orientali Picolit, Ischia). Everyday wine lovers, beginners, and professionals alike will find this new book to be the perfect complement to D’Agata’s previous award-winning Native Wine Grapes of Italy.

Tom Stone went to Greece one summer to write a novel -- and stayed twenty-two years. On Patmos, the tiny island where St. John received the apocalyptic visions recorded in the Book of Revelations, he fell in love with Danielle, a beautiful French painter. His novel completed and sold, he decided to stay a little longer. Seven idyllic years later, after the birth of their second child, they left Patmos for Crete, where Stone taught English to civil servants and Danielle painted icons for tourists. But Stone's heart was still on Patmos, and when a Patmian friend, Theológos, called and offered him a summer partnership in his beach tavérna, The Beautiful Helen, Stone jumped at the chance -- mu...

Cercul de piatră vol. 1 (Seria OUTLANDER partea a III-a ed.2020) - Editura Nemira
Povestea care a stat la baza serialului OUTLANDER O poveste fără rival. Personaje de neuitat. Detalii istorice savuroase. În urmă cu douăzeci de ani, Claire Randall s-a întors în timp și a nimerit în brațele temerarului Jamie Fraser, direct în secolul al XVIII-lea. Apoi s-a intors în vremea ei, purtând în pântece un copil și convinsă că el și-a pierdut viața în bătălia de la Culloden. Și totusi, în amintirile ei n-a fost niciodată mai viu. Când, după ani de suferință, Claire descoperă că Jamie trăiește, trebuie să ia cea mai dificilă alegere: să rămână în prezent, împreună cu fiica ei, ori să se întoarcă la bărbatul iubit, în veacul lui. Scoția e măcinată de comploturi, patimile și pericolele nu mai contenesc, intrigile se tin lanț. Călătoria în necunoscut îi poate aduce lui Claire iubirea înapoi sau o poate spulbera pe veci. „A treia parte din seria OUTLANDER este palpitantă, îndrăzneață, provocatoare. Diana Gabaldon combină cu măiestrie trecutul și prezentul, se lasă cu plăcere în voia altor veacuri, dar nu se abate niciodată de la firul poveștii.“ Locus
