Autor Jeanette M. Freguliaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mar 2019
The
history
of
coffee
is
much
more
than
the
tale
of
one
luxury
good—it
is
a
lens
through
which
to
consider
various
strands
of
world
history,
from
food
and
foodways
to
religion
and
economics
and
sociocultural
dynamics.
A Rich and Tantalizing Brewtraces the history of coffee from its cultivation and brewing first as a private pleasure in the highlands of Ethiopia and Yemen through its emergence as a sought-after public commodity served in coffeehouses first in the Muslim world, and then traveling across the Mediterranean to Italy, to other parts of Europe, and finally to India and the Americas. At each of these stops the brew gathered ardent aficionados and vocal critics, all the while reshaping patterns of socialization.
Taking its conversational tone from the chats often held over a steaming cup,A Rich and Tantalizing Brewoffers a critical and entertaining look at how this bitter beverage, with a little help from the tastes that traveled with it—chocolate, tea, and sugar—has connected people to each other both within and outside of their typical circles, inspiring a new context for sharing news, conducting business affairs, and even plotting revolution.

the
planet.”

“Jeanette Fregulia’s compact but wide-rangingA Rich and Tantalizing Brewbridges a number of chronological and geographical gaps in the historical trajectory of contemporary global society’s favorite addictive stimulant. …A Rich and Tantalizing Brew, at its best, makes a powerful case that it is past time to ditch the hard distinctions between Eastern and Western civilization and instead to embrace the far more numerous conjunctures between the two spheres.”
—Patrick Funiciello,The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs, Volume 35, Number 1
