Beschreibungen
Sugar ... Overlay, bite, look. Sweetness familiar from childhood. But who among us thought about what path she made before she got to our table? And what path has sugar traveled through centuries and countries before it became common in every home? And of course, hardly anyone imagined sugar as an important actor on the historical stage. In this book, the amazing history of the sugar industry is intricately intertwined with a completely non-sugar history of mankind. In different eras, he became the cause of bloody wars and the prosperity of entire nations, a symbol of slave labor and untold wealth, inhuman suffering and human passions. On the pages of the book, as in an adventure novel, there are slaves and planters, famous filibusters and crowned persons, alchemists and great scientists. Sugar... Good or Evil? Sweet - or still bitter? Curious and little-known facts, paradoxical conclusions, elegant ironic style - all this makes Peter McInnis's book extremely fascinating for everyone who is interested not only in the history of the "sweet" industry, but also in world history in general.
