Product details

World history in a different way: wet and cheerful. Alcohol: For the Persians, it was a prerequisite for political debate, while for the ancient Greeks, it served as a means of self-discipline, and in ancient Egypt, it was a condition for spiritual ecstasy and enlightenment. Indulging can have religious or sexual reasons; it can topple kings and elevate peasants. Mark Forsyth provides a highly informative and entertaining account of what people poured into themselves and why humanity has not been able to shake off alcohol to this day. This is, in the best sense, the history of the tipsy world. "I really enjoy raspberry brandy with wheat groats for dinner..." sang Jürgen von der Lippe back in 1994. (5 CDs, running time: approx. 5h 50).
