Aprašymas
This Mediterranean travel memoir offers "an engaging mix of history, food travelogue, and botany lesson . . . There is much to enjoy here" (Library Journal).Inspired by her Syrian forebears' intimate relationship with the olive, Julie Angus embarks on a voyage around the Mediterranean to unlock the secrets of the fruit that meant so much to them. Accompanied by her husband and their ten-month-old son, Angus collects samples from ancient trees to determine where the first olive tree originated; feasts on inky black tapenades and codfish drizzled with olive oil, among many other delights; witnesses the harvesting of olives in Greece; and visits perhaps the oldest olive tree in the world, on Crete. The result is a fascinating history and biography of this most influential and irresistible fruit.
"It is a pleasure to try to keep up with this book; like its author, it covers an enormous amount of territory." --Christopher Bakken, Wall Street Journal
