Read Paul Owens and Paul Nathan's posts on the Penguin Blog A celebration of "the green goddess"-this is the first book to share absinthe recipes since it was recently legalized in the U.S. This enticing little volume presents a collection of more than 100 absinthe cocktail recipes that draw upon the classic roots of the drink as well as its new iterations. Readers will be entertained with nuggets of absinthe history and trivia, including the tradition of the green fairy, famous devotees of the drink, and the myths (or facts) of its hallucinatory properties. Readers will learn that: •America's most famous early cocktail, the sazerac, was a New Orleans creation that called for a dash of absinthe •When the absinthe backlash started in the 1890s, Edgar Degas' masterpiece L'Absinthe was booed off the auction block at Christie's in London •An experienced absintheur can identify a brand from across the room just by watching how it louches-the way the herbs' oils cloud the drink as the bartender adds water

Agreen fairy, geniuses' muse, deliverer of madness and maladies, harmless elixir -- absinthe carries quite a reputation. Absinthe: Sip of Seduction, A Contemporary Guide reveals the true nature of this notorious and alluring sub-culture, from past to present. Punctuated with classic and current poster art, postcards, paintings, drawings, advertisements, and photographs, this book does not leave the eye feeling neglected. Beginning with the birth and temporary death of absinthe, our story moves towards the contemporary revival of the Green Fairy. As a must, the comprehension of the piqued interest of absinthe requires a look at the famous drinkers who have cuddled up to the rumored green muse. From Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, and Alfred Jarry to Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, and Pablo Picasso to Ernest Hemingway, Aleister Crowley, Johnny Depp, and Marilyn Manson, absinthe has had many suitors. Discussions on how absinthe may serve as a brilliant release for creativity and, in some cases, a road to abuse and destruction are held for each featured artist. As displayed by our aforementioned modern imbibers, the consumption and enjoyment of absinthe is not relegated to the past. For the curious drinker of today, Absinthe: Sip of Seduction provides information on the various sipping methods, recipes for cocktails and tasty accompaniments, as well as a number of reviews on the absinthes currently available for purchase and recommended drinking spots where the absinthe-minded person can visit around the world. And not to be left without additional references, a complete listing of websites, vendors, and literature is compiled in the back of the book. For those wishing to delve deeper, an entire chapter has been devoted to the collecting of all things absinthe. For the untrained eye, it may be difficult to distinguish a true antique Eiffel Tower spoon from a modern reproduction, yet the chapter on collectibles provides the reader with detailed clues on what to look for, what to avoid, and general asking prices. Not to be ignored is the lithograph poster, the most popular and widely known collectible. Seductive descriptions on the true intent of the ads are discussed with each vibrant piece. Confirmed absinthe drinkers, neophytes, the curious, and collectors will all find this book as equally intriguing, informative, and seductive as the Green Fairy herself. Book jacket.

Over the past decade, the popularity of cocktails has returned with gusto. Amateur and professional mixologists alike have set about recovering not just the craft of the cocktail, but also its history, philosophy, and culture. The Shaken and the Stirred features essays written by distillers, bartenders and amateur mixologists, as well as scholars, all examining the so-called 'Cocktail Revival' and cocktail culture. Why has the cocktail returned with such force? Why has the cocktail always acted as a cultural indicator of class, race, sexuality and politics in both the real and the fictional world? Why has the cocktail revival produced a host of professional organizations, blogs, and conferences devoted to examining and reviving both the drinks and habits of these earlier cultures?

This early work by Radclyffe Hall was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Well of Loneliness' is a novel that follows an upper-class Englishwoman who falls in love with another woman while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I. Marguerite Radclyffe Hall was born on 12th August 1880, in Bournemouth, England. Hall's first novel The Unlit Lamp (1924) was a lengthy and grim tale that proved hard to sell. It was only published following the success of the much lighter social comedy The Forge (1924), which made the best-seller list of John O'London's Weekly. Hall is a key figure in lesbian literature for her novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). This is her only work with overt lesbian themes and tells the story of the life of a masculine lesbian named Stephen Gordon.
