Download or read book Passion on the Vine written by Sergio Esposito and published by Crown. This book was released on 2009-05-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young child in Naples, Italy, Sergio Esposito sat at his kitchen table observing the daily ritual of his large, loud family bonding over fresh local dishes and simple country wines. While devouring the rich bufala mozzarella, still sopping with milk and salt, and the platters of fresh prosciutto, sliced so thin he could see through it, he absorbed the profound relationship of food, wine, and family in Italian culture. Growing up in Albany, New York, after emigrating there with his family, he always sat next to his uncle Aldo and sipped from his wineglass during their customary hours-long extended family feasts. Thus, from a very early age, Esposito came to associate wine with the warmth of family, the tastes of his mother’s cooking—and, above all, memories of his former life in Italy. When he was in his twenties, he headed for New York and undertook a career in wine, beginning a journey that would culminate in his founding of Italian Wine Merchants, now the leading Italian wine source in America. His career offered him the opportunity to make frequent trips back to Italy to find wine for his clients, to learn the traditions of Italian winemaking, and, in so doing, to rediscover the Italian way of life he’d left behind. Passion on the Vine is Esposito’s intimate and evocative memoir of his colorful family life in Italy, his abrupt transition to life in America, and of his travels into the heart of Italy—its wine country—and the lives of those who inhabit it. The result is a remarkably engaging and entertaining wine/travel narrative replete with vivid portraits of seductive places—the world-famous cellars of Piedmont, the sweeping estates of Tuscany, the lush fields of Campania, the chilly hills of Friuli, the windy beaches of Le Marche; and of memorable people, diverse and vibrant wine artisans—from a disco-dancing vintner who bases his farming on the rhythm of the moon to an obsessive prince who destroys his vineyards before his death so that his grapes will never be used incorrectly. Esposito’s luscious accounts of the wonderful food and wine that are so much a part of Italian life, and his poignant and often hilarious stories of his relationships with his family and Italian friends, make Passion on the Vine an utterly unique and enchanting work about Italy and its eternally seductive lifestyle.

Download or read book Everybody s Uncle written by Eugene Patrizi and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have an unusual life story to tell by the circumstances that came together as life went on. A depression baby, I experienced many days of hard times. A son of Italian immigrants, I spoke Italian at home. A deep desire to become educated was my dream. To be educated was always my dream, despite negative oppositions. My becoming an uncle at the age of three resulted in growing up with many nieces and nephews...not brothers and sisters. How I managed to overcome great obstacles to be educated is worthy of this reading. A "never give up" attitude led to my achievements. Simultaneously, the title of the "Uncle" grew not only from a huge family, but includes many friends as well. Being a talented artist from a youngster to adult, I flourished in painting and art to become well received as an artist and teacher. From my earliest of days well into my teens, I was always singled out by teachers and people of knowledge to encourage me to be an artist. Despite my obvious talents, I hardly felt that I was special. Not until adulthood did I realize that my creative art works and mentality were truly far above average. In college, my talents of all kinds were allowed to flourish. What a blessing, indeed, to have that opportunity after years of uncertainty. Always doing my very best at any chore given to me, led to my achievements. Also, being accepted as "Uncle" to numerous families, encouraged me to feel I had wonderful support that was so needed. As you read my story, please try to imagine the periods it all occurred, the state of my demeanor, and how I succeeded each endeavor. Hopefully, you will be enlightened and amused.

Download or read book Killing for Coal written by Thomas G. Andrews and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a spring morning in 1914, in the stark foothills of southern Colorado, members of the United Mine Workers of America clashed with guards employed by the Rockefeller family, and a state militia beholden to Colorado’s industrial barons. When the dust settled, nineteen men, women, and children among the miners’ families lay dead. The strikers had killed at least thirty men, destroyed six mines, and laid waste to two company towns. Killing for Coal offers a bold and original perspective on the 1914 Ludlow Massacre and the “Great Coalfield War.” In a sweeping story of transformation that begins in the coal beds and culminates with the deadliest strike in American history, Thomas Andrews illuminates the causes and consequences of the militancy that erupted in colliers’ strikes over the course of nearly half a century. He reveals a complex world shaped by the connected forces of land, labor, corporate industrialization, and workers’ resistance. Brilliantly conceived and written, this book takes the organic world as its starting point. The resulting elucidation of the coalfield wars goes far beyond traditional labor history. Considering issues of social and environmental justice in the context of an economy dependent on fossil fuel, Andrews makes a powerful case for rethinking the relationships that unite and divide workers, consumers, capitalists, and the natural world.
