A Delicious Way to Earn a Living
“A great journalist, passionate about food” (Gordon Ramsay). Michael Bateman was the father of modern food journalism. He began writing about food in England during the 1960s, when the average British culinary experience was limited to fish and chips. At the time, it was a subject national newspapers scarcely bothered with. Among other accomplishments, he was the first journalist to write detailed exposés on issues such as food additives. His wit, humor, erudition, and passion for his subject poured off the pages week after week as he researched his articles, often disappearing for days if not weeks to cover every possible angle and talk to every expert. Eventually he became a prominent editor—and nurtured food writers of the next generation, such as Sophie Grigson and Oz Clarke. This collection includes some of his best work, spanning several decades—on topics as wide-ranging as Australian cuisine; veganism; food marketing; French wine; and Coca-Cola.
The Defence of Tradition in Brazilian Popular Music
Sean Stroud examines how and why Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) has come to have such a high status, and why the musical tradition (including MPB) within Brazil has been defended with such vigour for so long. He emphasizes the importance of musical nationalism as an underlying ideology to discussions about Brazilian popular music since the 1920s, and the key debate on so-called 'cultural invasion' in Brazil. The roles of those responsible for the construction of the idea of MPB are examined in detail. Stroud analyses the increasingly close relationship that has developed between television and popular music in Brazil with particular reference to the post-1972 televised song festivals. He g...
Bitternis
Kalina Serce, jüngster Spross einer Frauendynastie, Erforscherin einer düsteren Familiengeschichte, betritt eine Villa, die lange Zeit unbewohnt war. Sie tastet nach dem Ebonit-Schalter aus der Vorkriegszeit, um Licht zu machen – eine Ankunft im Unvertrauten. Mit diesem Haus, der früheren Pension Glück im schlesischen Langwaltersdorf, hat es seine eigene Bewandtnis. Hier traf sich Kalinas Urgroßmutter Berta mit ihrem Geliebten. Berta träumt von einer Flucht mit ihm nach Prag, die der Vater verhindert. Der Hass auf ihn wird so groß, dass sie zu einer ungeheuren Tat schreitet. Joanna Bators neuer Roman erzählt von weiblichen Lebensentwürfen. Und wie sie scheitern. Im drängenden, sarkastischen, an Elfriede Jelinek erinnernden Ton entfaltet sich das Drama der zornigen Frauen, die ihr Geheimnis durch die Generationen weitergegeben haben. Krieg, Gewalt und privates Unglück haben die Angst und Bitternis hervorgebracht, aus deren Bannkreis erst die Jüngste, Kalina, heraustritt, indem sie davon erzählt. Mit Macht fordert sie das Glück ein, das den Frauen ihrer Familie versagt war.

Food Culture in South America
This volume tells the story of the South Americans and their history through a survey of their food culture. Food in the various countries differs in some ways because of cultural heritage, cooking techniques, and geography, here divided into four zones. The traditions of the primary groups—Indians, Europeans, and Africans—and their five centuries of mixing have still resulted in a stable food culture. The foods of the Indians before European contact still play an important role, along with other foods brought by successive immigrant groups. Europeans tried to establish their staples, wheat and wine, with little success. Many dishes, cooking methods, and food habits have survived with li...
