Sinopsis

Do you know the fascinating history behind your favorite aperitif? Have you ever considered the complex skills involved in creating a cocktail―the centuries of research, experimentation and imagination that come together to produce that unique and exquisite blend of flavors in your cocktail glass? This book explores these questions, and many others, by celebrating Pernod Ricard’s faithful restoration of Gustav Eiffel’s iconic distillery built in Thuir in 1873, the origin of many of France’s most distinguished aperitifs, including Pernod Absinthe, Byrrh, Lillet, Ricard and Suze.

The first part of this book provides an intimate photographic tour of the distillery, revealing rarely seen images of the antique oak casks―among them the largest in the world, with a capacity of a million liters―copper pots and bubbling laboratory equipment, against the backdrop of Eiffel’s 19th-century stained glass windows and intricate ironwork. The Thuir distillery also boasts a recently refurbished bar, styled in the manner of the quintessential English club. Part two of the book links the past with the present through a series of portraits and interviews with 25 of the world’s most accomplished and renowned bartenders and mixologists, who reveal the secrets (together with a few shared recipes) behind some of the most delicious drinks invented since the creation of absinthe.

De la contraportada

In 2003, Frank Gohlke and Joel Sternfeld were commissioned to photograph one of the densest concentrations of ethnic diversity in the world, the borough of Queens in New York City. After more than a year of photographing everything from corner bodegas to the borough’s boundaries, Gohlke and Sternfeld had not only captured the complicated dynamic that sustains Queens and its myriad communities; they had also evolved a unique theory of landscape photography in which landscape is a visible manifestation of the invisible emotions of its inhabitants. The collection inherits the strength of each photographer’s eye. Gohlke’s Queens consists of streets, houses, fences, gardens, parklands, shorelines, and waste spaces, the terri - tory where human arrangement contends endlessly with the forces that undo it: unruly vegetation, weather, rot, decay, and the “creative destruction” of a voracious commercial culture. Sternfeld focuses on the indigenous shops, restaurants, mosques and temples that make a walk in Queens feel like a walk in Thailand, India or Peru―or all of them at once. Often tucked into homes or converted factories, these places signify a home country, or perhaps a home country that exists more in the mind than in actuality. In conjunction with an essay by the acclaimed writer Suketu Mehta, this book is a powerful instrument for understand - ing a landscape that seems to defy interpretation. Gohlke and Sternfeld successfully make the dizzying patchwork of Queens accessible and visible.
