Book ID/图书代码： 02000010B40786
English Summary/英文概要： Part cookbook, part travelogue: a vibrant, visually stunning exploration of Campodimele, the extraordinary Italian village that just might hold the secret to eternal youth. It’s a typical morning in Campodimele, Italy, and a ninety-three-year-old woman is kneading out her daily bread, while her ninety-six-year-old neighbor pedals by on his bicycle … In this sun-drenched village in the Aurunci Mountains, the residents enjoy astonishing longevity, such that scientists from the World Health Organization have dubbed it the “village of eternity.” Not only are the people of Campodimele living longer—the male life expectancy is 26 percent higher than the U.S. average—but they also have substantially lower blood pressure than their countrymen, and the cholesterol levels of newborn babies.
So, what’s their secret? In A Year in the Village of Eternity, Tracey Lawson chronicles twelve months of life in Campodimele, highlighting the villagers’ cooking and eating habits, which many believe are key totheir long, healthy lives. Their meals are simple and wholesome, dependent on high-quality meats and cheeses, local olives, homemade pastas, and hearty legumes. Lawson provides a year’s worth of recipes for cooks at home, accompanied by sumptuous illustrations and peppered with sensible health advice and transporting tales of a place unlike any other.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 不僅彷彿體驗到何謂仙境，也能嚐到長壽的滋味！ 每個人對義大利的第一印象，不外乎美食、足球或時尚等話題，但健康或許就不容易和義大利劃上等號（畢竟在滿足口腹之慾的同時，相對的會增加身體健康的負擔）。但在當今歐洲能被世界衛生組織評選為長壽村只有在義大利南部的Campodimele。
許多先進的西方國家，壽命或許比許多亞洲或每週發展國家長，但其實壽命長並不代表健康，許多到一定年紀的人常遭受癌症、心臟病及糖尿病的侵襲，反而活的很辛苦。而居住在Campodimele的人不僅平均壽命是90歲，而且有些甚至到百餘歲時身體狀態還像七八十歲一樣，這當中重要關鍵，就是飲食，他們以當季食材料理加上正確飲食習慣，才能保持如此健朗的身體。
作者為了深入了解當地長壽的秘密，花了一年時間，觀察當地人的生活習性，記錄他們的飲食特色。書中有人瑞爺爺Giovanni，每天以蔬菜湯當午餐，持續至今已經103年了；96歲的Corradino依然每天騎腳踏車健身；93歲婦女每天烘培自製的迷迭香與橄欖油麵包，而這些看似簡單的生活小事及飲食其實就是長壽的最佳方法。在一年當中，作者將她認識及接觸到的人及生活，詳詳實實都記錄在本書中，並搭配當地特殊料理食譜，讓人彷彿體驗到何謂仙境，也能嚐到長壽的滋味。(Vincent)
