Product Description
In this captivating book, Stewart Lee Allen treks 3-quarters of the way all around the planet on a caffeinated quest to response these profound concerns: Did the advent of coffee give birth to an enlightened western civilization? Is coffee, without a doubt, the substance that drives background? From the cliffhanging villages of Southern Yemen, in which coffee beans have been initial cultivated eight hundred many years ago, to a cavernous coffeehouse in Calcutta, the drinking spot for two of India’s three Nobel Prize winners . . . from Parisian salons and cafés in which the French Revolution was born, to the roadside diners and chain dining establishments of the excellent ol’ U.S.A., the place something resembling brown water passes for coffee, Allen wittily proves that the globe was wired long just before the Web. And individuals who deny the energy of coffee (namely tea-drinkers) do so at their personal peril.
