Bonnie Garmus

"Set in 1960s California, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious, idiosyncratic and uplifting story of a female scientist whose career is constantly derailed by the idea that a woman's place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America's most beloved TV cooking show. Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it's the 1960s and despite the fact that she is a scientist, her peers are very unscientific when it comes to equality. The only good thing to happen to her on the road to professional fulfillment is a run-in with her super-star colleague Calvin Evans (well, she stole his beakers.) The only man who ever treated her-and her ideas-as equal, Calvin is already a legend and Nobel nominee. He's also awkward, kind and tenacious. Theirs is true chemistry. But as events are never as predictable as chemical reactions, three years later Elizabeth Zott is an unwed, single mother (did we mention it's the early 60s??) and the star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's singular approach to cooking ('take one pint of H2O and add a pinch of sodium chloride') and independent example are proving revolutionary. Because Elizabeth isn't just teaching women how to cook, she's teaching them how to change the status quo. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist"--

Lessons in Chemistry Special Edition

La cucina è chimica e la chimica è vita. La capacità di cambiare tutto, compresi se stessi, comincia da qui.Elizabeth Zott è magnetica. Se entra in una stanza, state certi che non le staccherete gli occhi di dosso: perché è bella, e perché ha quel modo schietto di esprimere il proprio pensiero, che scende come una lama sulla superficie molle della morale comune. Siamo nel 1952, ed Elizabeth è una giovane chimica che lavora all'Hastings Research Institute in California, un ambiente ferocemente maschilista dove il suo innegabile talento viene per lo più messo a tacere, sabotato, o usato per il prestigio altrui. Malgrado le difficoltà, il coraggio di rivendicare diritti e successi non viene scalfito e spinge Elizabeth a perseverare. C'è solo un uomo che ammira la sua determinazione: è Calvin Evans, genio della chimica in odore di Nobel, con il quale nasce un sentimento puro in cui condivisione delle formule e attrazione fisica vanno di pari passo.Ma la vita, come la scienza, è soggetta a trasformazioni, e qualche anno dopo la tempra di Elizabeth, ora madre single, folgora un produttore televisivo che le affida la conduzione di Cena alle sei, un programma di cucina che nelle sue mani diventa un appuntamento quotidiano immancabile per il grande pubblico. Il suo approccio rivoluzionario ai fornelli, infarcito di digressioni scientifiche, non mira solo alla preparazione di stufati, ma anche ad aprire gli occhi all'universo femminile. Lezioni di chimica è la storia di una donna irresistibile, che cade e si rialza più volte; è l'avventura di un'esistenza che ribalta gli schemi e costruisce un nuovo percorso, nonostante tutto. Con Elizabeth Zott si ride e si piange. È lei a dettare il ritmo, a indicarci quando andare a testa alta e quando invece è impossibile. Quello che sembra dirci, alla fine di tutto, è di non fermarci mai.

LOCUL ÎNTÂI ÎN TOPUL BESTSELLERELOR THE NEW YORK TIMES & THE SUNDAY TIMES NOMINALIZAT PENTRU THE WATERSTONES DEBUT FICTION PRIZE ÎN CURS DE ECRANIZARE CA SERIAL APPLE TV, CU BRIE LARSON ÎN ROLUL PRINCIPAL Chimista Elizabeth Zott nu este o femeie obișnuită. La începutul anilor ʼ60, se angajează la Institutul de Cercetare Hastings, unde observă că atitudinea față de femei a colegilor săi nu e deloc obiectivă. Singurul care pare să o înțeleagă este genialul și singuraticul Calvin Evans, savantul cu multiple nominalizări la Premiul Nobel, care se îndrăgostește de mintea ei sclipitoare. Elizabeth se trezește, în doar câțiva ani, nu doar o mamă obligată să-și crească singură fiica, ci și vedeta celei mai îndrăgite emisiuni de gătit din Statele Unite, Cina la șase. Maniera revoluționară în care eroina noastră interpretează gătitul este 100% științifică: „combinați o lingură de acid acetic cu un praf de clorură de sodiu“, își îndeamnă ea telespectatoarele. Numai că, din păcate, nu toată lumea este încântată de succesul lui Elizabeth Zott, pentru că ea nu le învață pe femei doar cum să gătească, ci și cum să gândească. „Un roman care îți stârnește bucuria cu fiecare pagină!“ ELIZABETH DAY „Strălucitor, exuberant, amuzant și cu personaje pe deplin formate pe care le veți îndrăgi!“ SUNDAY TIMES

Bonnie Garmus' Schlüssel zum Erfolg für ihr hinreißend erzähltes Buch lässt sich in zwei Worten zusammenfassen: Elizabeth Zott.

Ihnen beiden sind auch diese beiden Bonuskapitel gewidmet.

Eine Frage der Chemie: Zwei exklusive Bonuskapitel

Elizabeth Zott is a chemist, not the typical female. The first to point out that there is no such thing is Elizabeth Zott, in fact. But since her Hastings Research Institute staff is entirely male and it's the early 1960s, their perspective on equality is somewhat unscientific. With one exception: Calvin Evans, the misanthropic, bright, and Nobel Prize nominee who, ironically, falls in love with her mind. The outcomes of true chemistry. Life is irrational, just like science. In light of this, Elizabeth Zott discovers herself to be a single mother a few years later and the reluctant star of Supper at Six, the nation's most adored cookery program.
