Viac o knihe

Exploring the interplay between food, the body, and the mind, this book redefines the role of food in nineteenth-century French literature and medicine. It emphasizes food as an active agent in the complex relationships between human beings and their environment, rather than merely a social or cultural symbol. This fresh perspective invites readers to consider the intricate connections between gut health, mental states, and ecological factors in historical contexts.
