New York Times Bestseller * Soon to be a TV series starring Dan Aykroyd “There aren't many books this entertaining that also provide a cogent crash course in ancient, classical and modern history.” -Los Angeles Times Beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola: In Tom Standage's deft, innovative account of world history, these six beverages turn out to be much more than just ways to quench thirst. They also represent six eras that span the course of civilization-from the adoption of agriculture, to the birth of cities, to the advent of globalization. A History of the World in 6 Glasses tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the twenty-first century through each epoch's signature refreshment. As Standage persuasively argues, each drink is in fact a kind of technology, advancing culture and catalyzing the intricate interplay of different societies. After reading this enlightening book, you may never look at your favorite drink in quite the same way again.

The story of Countess Maria and her daughter Sylvia is moving between heady experiences and bottomless desperations. Pampered by wealth and social refinements in Hungary, they are unprepared for the chaos at the end of the Second World War. Hunger, hopelessness and tribulations follow, but eventually they are given a chance to emigrate to the United States, where they build a new, rich life, almost equaling that, which they left behind. After Sylvia's husband dies, she visits the old home, or what is left of it. There she is the victim of contradictory and very strong impressions, but also finds love, which gives new meaning to her life. In this, her third book, the author explores various attitudes which make or break a relationship, and delves into the emotional depths of mature love as experienced by two interesting individuals. Although her main focus is to show how various characters react to the vicissitudes of life, she also writes about the war, the horror of fleeing, and of being displaced: about the little known history of millions.
