Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A classic of reportage, Oranges was first conceived as a short magazine article about oranges and orange juice, but the author kept encountering so much irresistible information that he eventually found that he had in fact written a book. It contains sketches of orange growers, orange botanists, orange pickers, orange packers, early settlers on Florida's Indian River, the first orange barons, modern concentrate makers, and a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida who may be the last of the individual orange barons. McPhee's astonishing book has an almost narrative progression, is immensely readable, and is frequently amusing. Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles, because oranges and orange trees were the symbols of his nature and his reign. This book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too--with elements in it that range from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a custom of people in the modern Caribbean who split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : New. A classic of reportage, ORANGES was first conceived as a magazine article, and is to this day, perhaps, the last word on the subject. McPhee writes about the botany, history, and industry of oranges. First spoken of in 500 B.C. and atrributed to Confucius, oranges developed in Southeast Asia, subsequently spreading throughout the world with a timing closely parallel to the spread of Western civilization. It was Columbus himself who brought the first orange seeds to the New Yorld. Botanically, oranges are spectuacularly complicated. McPhee's astonishing book has an almost narrative progression, is immensely readable, and is frequently amusing. The book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too: Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles because oranges and orange trees werre the symbols of his nature and his reign; in the modern Caribbean, people split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand. An altogether delicious book! 149p. N° de réf. du vendeur 3246484
