Sobre este artículo
Bound in contemporary full mottled calf with red morocco title labels and black numerical labels; scrollwork gilt-ruled into compartments, engraved title page devices. Near Fine with trivial rubbing to extremities, contents lightly toned. A handsome set.
Signed copies of this "undisputed classic of the table, full of verve and good humor" (Carter) are incredibly scarce, as Brillat-Savarin died at 70 of pneumonia weeks after publication.
The foremost 19th-century gastronomic discourse being a series of meditations, recipes and reflections. Brillat-Savarin is considered one of the most important figures in culinary history and often cited for this work. Topics range from obseity and fasting, gastronomy and gourmet, the function of appetite and even death. A work that exemplifies the author's joie de vivre for all things food.
