Hardcover. Condizione: Like New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Dustjacket price clipped, with some short tears and edgewear. Now in clear, protective sleeve. A glorious, illustrated, celebration of a lifetime love affair with dining, by the author-illustrator of the classic Madeline series. Here is the best of Ludwig Bemelmans on the subject he loved most: the good table.The entrancing memories and charming pictures collected here transport the reader behind the scenes of the great hotels of Europe and America--including the immortal Hotel Splendide--and such restaurants as the Tour d'Argent in Paris and Le Pavillon in New York.Memorable dishes, the eccentric geniuses of the kitchens who created them, the opulent and often astonishing patrons who ordered them, the legendary wines and the occasions they toasted, are all evoked in rich and piquant flavor.The gifted and exuberant Ludwig Bemelmans was trained as a boy for a career as a restauranteur, and La Bonne Table is in effect his gastonomical autobiography. The high--and sometimes riotous low--points of his life with food, from Austrian cafes to the late, lamented Ritz of New York, are narrated with delight and zest as he celebrates beer and sausages, pressed duck and caviar, and the chefs who cooked for him. He remembers with decidedly mixed emotions the ways of the busboy and the waiter, and the qualities that make up the perfect maitre d'. He muses over great menus and great eaters--and soon makes the reader very hungry.Here, truly, is a feast of reading on the art of dining well.

King statement about the drawings: "The faces runed and haggard, bloated or putrescent like sinister fungi, have become so commonplace in the uniformity of our attire that only the definite segregation in these drawings acutely recalls the strange but still familiar of their reality.

Stevens founded the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) in 1951 and the Society for Animal Protective Legislation (SAPL) in 1955. Under Stevens's leadership the SAPL succeeded in helping to pass animal protection laws including the Animal Welfare Act, Humane Slaughter Act, Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

He became known for introducing plays by such adventurous writers as Harold Pinter, Arthur Kopit and Tom Stoppard. Stevens was the General Administrator of the Actors Studio as well as one of the producers of the Playwrights Company, a member of the board of the American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA), and one of the members of a Broadway producing company he founded in 1953 with Robert Whitehead and Robert Dowling. In 1961, he was asked by President John F.
