    Awards/获奖情况:"Vivid, energetic and mouth-watering ... a major contribution to the surge of interest in the history of food and the body." Roy Porter, Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine

    "This book is written in a light and entertaining manner appropriate to the spirit of the age it seeks to capture." Journal of the Historical Association

    "Replete with quotations from the champions as well as the critics of the Enlightenment’s new art of living, this book is written in a light and entertaining manner appropriate to the spirit of the age it seeks to capture." History

    "In this intriguing and amusing book, Camporesi guides the reader through the dining rooms of the European elite, painting an intricate picture of the cuisine and ’savoire vivre’ of the period. The strongest feature of this work is its wealth of curious details which grant insight into a vivacious and seemingly frivolous society, obsessed with its quest for the exotic and the unorthodox. This highly evocative book is most entertaining and vividly brings to life the distinctive and bizarre lifestyles which were born of Europe’s intellectual awakening." Chartist

    ’Camporesi is ... a beautiful writer who imbues much of the elegance of the Enlightenment era in his composition.’ Limina

    About the Author/作者介绍: Piero Camporesi was one of the twentieth century’s most original and exciting historians, whose work on popular beliefs, habits, folklore and consumption patterns revolutionized our understanding of the culture and mentalités of ancien régime Europe. For many years a professor at the University of Bologna, Camporesi weaved together a keen literary ability with the rigour of an historian and the interpretative skill of an anthropologist. His astonishing intellectual range saw him map the imaginative and symbolic world of ordinary people in medieval and early modern Europe in areas ranging from food, drink and drugs to religious rituals and magical beliefs. His treatment of these themes brilliantly interpreted the unfamiliar and disconcerting assumptions and beliefs of past eras in their own terms. Polity has published many of his books, including Bread of Dreams, Anatomy of the Senses, Magic Harvest and The Land of Hunger.
