About the Author

Acknowledgement

很多人从未踏上过法国的土地，却深深地迷恋这个国家。这是一个矛盾的民族，冷漠与热烈兼具，善于表达浪漫的激情，也崇尚哲学、逻辑与思辨之美；这是一个感官的乐园：香水的芬芳，香槟的甜美，香颂的缠绵；这是一个艺术的圣殿，卢浮宫的馆藏浩如烟海，塞纳河左岸的现代艺术生生不息；这是一个田园生活和奢靡时尚并行不悖的秀场，T台上款款而行的模特儿，南部乡村里悠然自得的农夫……的确，法国散发出特别而暖昧的气息，勾起人们进一步探究的欲望。
　　这本小书笔触流畅，从细微处入手，举重若轻。书的前几章全面地介绍了法国的土地和国民、历史和现实、法国人的价值观和生活态度、风俗和传统等等方面；接下来的内容对初到法国的访客尤为重要：如何结交朋友，法国人的居家生活，工作之余的消遣玩乐；最后三章则阐述了旅行、商业交流以及人际沟通领域的须知事项和敏感问题。客观介绍之外，作者将法国生活的细节娓娓道来，读者可以看到法国人傲慢的外表下可亲可爱的一面。

感受浪漫神秘的法国文化，感知一个真实的法兰西：历史政治，价值观念，宗教建筑，文化渊源，风俗习惯，休闲时尚，商界经纬，社交礼仪……
