Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Parts of South America have very similar cookery styles. For example, many countries serve the classic dishes brought from their motherlands: Spain and Portugal. However, the locally available ingredients have naturally influenced and modified the cuisines of the individual countries. Chile, for example, has taken full advantage of its long coastline and superb fisheries to create some delectable seafood preparations. Notable is Chupe de Mariscos, a seafood soup-stew or chowder. Brazil, using the black beans of the country, has as its national dish Feijoada, made with beans and a variety of meats and spices. Argentina, a great meat country, combines meats with fruits and vegetables, resulting in a Carbonada. One of Peru's contributions to the art of good eating is a marvelous chicken-and-pepper dish called Aji de Pollo. Dishes with Salsa de Almendras, almond sauce, are familiar through large parts of South America, but reach a high point of deliciousness in Ecuador, where this sauce is served with shrimp, eggs, and almost anything the chef has available. You will find that cooking the South American way introduces a new type of cuisine into your menu. It offers a scope and excitement that will delight your family and guests." -from the author's Introduction. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This glorious saga unfolds against the backdrop of ancient Romefrom the Forum to the Coliseum, from banquet halls to summer retreats in Naples, from the luxurious houses of the nobility to the hovels of the poor, Quo Vadis richly depicts a place and time still captivating to the modern imagination. This radiant translation by W.S. Kuniczak restores the original glory and richness of master storyteller Henryk Sienkiewicz's epic tale. Set at a turning point in history (A.D. 54-68), as Christianity replaces the era of corruption and immorality that marked Neros Rome, Quo Vadis abounds with compelling characters, including: Vinicius, the proud centurion who has fallen deeply in love with a mysterious young woman who disappears the night they meet;Ligia, the elusive beauty. Vinicius will not easily win her love, for she is a Christian, one of the group of dedicated believers led by the apostle Peter. Christians are rare in pagan, hedonistic Rome, and suffer great persecution; Petronius, uncle to Vinicius, an elegant, witty courtier who scoffs at love and religion but finds his nephews passion charming; and Nero himself, enemy of all Christians, a despotic emperor who plunges Rome deeper and deeper into depravity. The decadence of his banquets is staggering; and even worse, his mad laughter is heard echoing in the amphitheater as gladiators duel to the death. As Neros appalling plans for the Christians become ever clearer, time appears to be running out for the young lovers. Vinicius must come to understand the true meaning of Ligias religion before it is too late. Grand in scope and ambition, Quo Vadis explores the themes of love, desire and profound moral courage. Lavish descriptions, vivid dialogue and brilliantly drawn characters make this one of the worlds greatest epics. Beloved by children and adults the world over, Quo Vadis has been the subject of five films, two of them in English. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Second Edition. The Cards Can't Lie is a popular survey of the history an development of cards. It traces the story of cards far back in time to ancient religions and mystical cults. The Egyptian god Thoth, the Greek god Hermes, and the Roman god Mercury were all invovled in the history of cards. The author believes that it was as an aid to the rites of divination attached to the worship of these deities that the first fortune-telling cards were developed. Apart from charting the history of cards, Alice Hutton also endeavours to explain their symbolism. She reveals the significance of the different 'suits' used in various countries and discloses the hidden meanings of the Tarot atouts or 'trumps' - the most important cards in the Tarot pack. The final chapter will be of particular interest to all readers who do not possess their own pack of Tarot cards: it details a method of fortune-telling with an ordinary pack of playing cards. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new; 128 pages; Originally published in 1979. Description: 128 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. Subjects: Playing cards --History. Tarot (Game) --History 1 Kg.
