Mark Kurlansky is the author of Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World, The Basque History of the World and the short story collection The White Man in the Tree. He lives in New York City with his wife and daughter.
Homer called it a divine substance. Plato described it as especially dear to the gods. As Mark Kurlansky so brilliantly relates here, salt has shaped civilization from the beginning, and its story is a glittering often surprising part of the history of mankind. So valuable that it has often served as currency and still does in places today, salt inspired the earliest trade routes across unknown oceans and the remotest deserts. Wars have been fought over salt, and while salt taxes secured empires across Europe and Asia, they have also inspired revolution - Gandhi's salt march in 1930 began the overthrow of British rule in India. From the rural Sichuan province where the last home-made soya sauce is made to the Cheshire brine springs that supplied salt around the globe, Mark Kurlansky has produced a kaleidoscope of world history, a multilayered masterpiece that blends political, commercial, scientific, religious and culinary records into a rich and memorable tale.

評分很難想象,在日常生活中再尋常不過的一種調味料竟然能成為一本書的絕對主角,直到有一天,在馬剋·科爾蘭斯的筆下,這種白色顆粒纔煥發齣無可比擬的生命力,進而成為萬眾矚目的焦點。 眾所周知,鹽,這一與我們的生活結下不解之緣的食品,總是靜靜躺在廚房中某個不起眼...

評分逛op-shop時偶然發現。書中有乾坤的那種。 前天看完。真是本好書。內陸長大,暈船的旱鴨子的我從未細想過鹽的流通史某種程度上就是人類文明史。
