Description
Isabel Allende trae sus poderes mágicos como cuentista a un nivel muy personal y con un encanto peculiar a las entrelazadas y sensuales artes de la comida y el amor. Mezclando recuerdos personales con el folklore del mundo, leyendas históricas, y momentos memorables de la literatura erótica y de otros tipos, Allende enriquece su narración con porciones semejantes de humor y perspicacia. Combinando un banquete de hechos fascinantes sobre los poderes afrodisíacos de los alimentos y las bebidas, Allende los sirve con convincente admiración y debida irreverencia. Ella ofrece sugerencias, tanto antiguas como modernas, para atraer a un amante, encender el ardor sexual, prolongar el acto sexual, reactivar la decadente virilidad. Metiéndose en el caldero de la historia, ella nos informa sobre los apetitos lascivos de todos, desde el emperador Nerón a Catalina la Grande hasta la notoria Madame du Barry de Francia.
