Philipp Scholz & Maria Weber read Muriel Barbery: The Last Delicacy (this reading will be in German language)

Pierre Arthes, a self-indulgent gourmet and renowned food critic, is dying. He uses his dwindling vitality in search of the last great pleasure. His life companions, his friends, his envious and subordinates remember encounters and conversations with the monarch of criticism. He himself undertakes a mental journey back to kitchens, herb gardens and wine cellars, to smells and tastes - in search of the true delicacy of his life.

In her first novel, Muriel Barbery stages the polyphonic portrait of a hedonist. Finely woven, it tells the sensitive story of a love that leads from opulence back to originality. A reading pleasure with culinary accompaniment.
