Produktbeschreibung
The New Glutton or Epicure is a witty and insightful exploration of food, dining, and the evolving habits of society at the turn of the twentieth century. Written by Lyman Abbott and illustrated by Peter Newell, this book delves into the contrasts between the traditional glutton-who indulges in excess without discernment-and the modern epicure, who seeks pleasure in the quality, artistry, and experience of eating. Through a series of essays, anecdotes, and satirical observations, the author examines the social rituals of the table, the changing nature of hospitality, and the cultural significance of cuisine in an age of increasing sophistication and refinement. The book humorously critiques the excesses of Victorian banquets, the rise of nouvelle cuisine, and the pretensions of self-proclaimed gourmets, all while celebrating the joys of good company and well-prepared food. Abbott's prose is lively and engaging, peppered with clever commentary on everything from the etiquette of dinner parties to the psychological motivations behind our cravings. The illustrations by Peter Newell add a whimsical touch, capturing the absurdities and delights of the dining experience. The New Glutton or Epicure is both a social commentary and a celebration of the pleasures of the table, offering readers a window into the culinary trends and attitudes of its era. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with food, encouraging moderation, appreciation, and a sense of humor in all things gastronomic. Whether you are a lover of history, a student of manners, or simply someone who enjoys a good meal, this book provides a delightful and thought-provoking read.
