Very short story focusing on a conflict between a new market vendor and the established village cafe owner. Bruno, of course, helps the two parties find a way to work together. The food and regional descriptions are always great! ( ) The short stories in the Bruno series highlight the town of St. Denis and Bruno’s role as the municipal policeman. The simpler plots showcase Bruno’s conflict management skills in resolving fairly minor interpersonal conflicts. The stories also have something to do with food, one of Bruno’s off-duty interests. In this story, Bruno makes peace between Senegalese market vendors and the local cafe owner who is losing market day business to their cheaper coffee sales. “The chocolate war” by Martin Walker is a short story - a Bruno, Chief of Police Story. Bruno Courreges is the local policeman of the Perigord market town of St. Denis. One of his duties is to patrol and secure its weekly market every Tuesday morning. The prosperity of St. Denis “had rested for seven centuries upon this weekly market - the oldest and largest in the region.” The story is quite short and showcases Bruno’s diplomacy skills when dealing with all matters involving his beloved St. Denis. He and the mayor work out a brilliant and respectful compromise between various stalls and cafes vying for their share of business. Food and drink highlight any ‘Bruno’ story and it’s hard not to dream of the French countryside and its gastronomic delights when reading about this region of France. “The chocolate war” compliments all the ‘Bruno’ stories written by Martin Walker. They are always a delight to read in any form. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Early on summer mornings, police chief Bruno enjoys wandering the stalls of the weekly market in the village of St. Denis as they are being loaded with wares-ducks, oysters, wooden toys, used books, exotic teas and now, even miniskirts and cellphone cases. St. Denis is changing. But when Bruno's old friend Leopold from Senegal and his young nephew Cali start selling African coffee and chocolate more cheaply than Bruno's old friend Fauquet at his cafe across the square-Fauquet starts to lose his clientele and a competition erupts between the vendors. As a local taxpayer, Fauquet seeks protection against unfair competition while Leopold and Cali seek the right to do business fairly and protection from the anti-immigrant cafe-owners in nearby towns. As the rivalry escalates, it's up to Bruno to find a way for the neighbors of St. Denis to make peace. A Vintage Shorts original. An ebook short. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
