Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Coffee: A Poem. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. It is hard to imagine a time when coffee drinking was not part of every-day life and yet it was not until the end of the seventeenth century that it became widespread in Europe. The visit of the Turkish Ambassador to Louis XIV's court in 1669 helped to make coffee-drinking fashionable in France, so it is not surprising that it was a Frenchman who chose to extol its delights, not to mention its health-giving properties, in a long poem written in Latin, a popular language for verse throughout Europe until well into the eighteenth century. L'Abbé Guillaume Massieu, priest turned teacher, gives a witty yet instructive account of the origins of coffee, its real or alleged properties, and how to make the perfect cup, an account which loses none of its sparkle and humour in John T. Gilmore's masterly translation.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a profound exploration of the nature and impact of poetry. The author traces the history of the art form from its origins in ancient Greece to its enduring influence on modern society. Examining the works of renowned poets such as Homer, Virgil, and Shakespeare, the author demonstrates how poetry has consistently served as a vehicle for expressing the human experience, offering insights into our deepest emotions, values, and beliefs. Through an analysis of different poetic genres, including epic, lyric, and dramatic verse, the author reveals how poetry has evolved in response to changing social, cultural, and historical contexts. Ultimately, the book argues for the continued relevance and importance of poetry as a means of understanding ourselves and the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. …
