AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating edition of this emblematic work by Charles Monselet, French writer, columnist, journalist and gastronome who made cuisine, meals and the pleasures of the table a true literary subject -
The work gathers narratives, anecdotes, portraits, memories and scenes in which gastronomy serves as a starting point for a vivid portrait of French society and especially the Parisian world -
Monselet does not conceive the table as a simple place to satisfy hunger, but as a space of sociability where the characters, habits, ambitions, tastes and foibles of individuals are revealed -
