GIN GLORIOUS GIN: HOW MOTHER’S RUIN BECAME THE SPIRIT OF LONDON

Book ID/图书代码： 06140514B73098

English Summary/英文概要： Gin Glorious Gin is a vibrant cultural history of London seen through the prism of its most iconic drink. Leading the reader through the underbelly of the Georgian city via the Gin Craze, detouring through the Empire (with a G&T in hand), to the emergence of cocktail bars in the West End, the story is brought right up to date with the resurgence of class in a glass - the Ginnaissance.

As gin has crossed paths with Londoners of all classes and professions over the past three hundred years it has become shorthand for metropolitan glamour and alcoholic squalor in equal measure. In and out of both legality and popularity, gin is a drink that has seen it all.

Gin Glorious Gin is quirky, informative, full of famous faces - from Dickens to Churchill, Hogarth to Dr Johnson - and introduces many previously unknown Londoners, hidden from history, who have shaped the city and its signature drink.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《光荣的杜松子酒》是一本通过伦敦最具代表性的酒精来查看其充满活力的文化历史的书。引导读者穿过格鲁吉亚城市的下腹观赏杜松子酒的热潮，迂回穿过帝国（手拿杜松子酒）到达城西的鸡尾酒酒吧，这个故事带来了在玻璃杯中的复兴——杜松子酒的诞生。

在过去的三百年里杜松子酒已越过所有阶级和职业的伦敦人，它已成为和酒精的污秽同等程度的都市的魅力。无论是合法性还是受欢迎程度，杜松子酒都是已见证一切的饮料。

《光荣的杜松子酒》是离奇和内容翔实的，并充满了著名的面孔——从狄更斯到丘吉尔，从霍加斯到约翰逊博士——介绍了许多以前隐藏于历史的塑造了这座城市和它的招牌饮料的未知的伦敦人。(LNL)
