4.0 out of 5 stars in absentia..., 2 Jun 2005

By	"john_matthew_hall" - See all my reviews

This is perhaps not quite the definitive book the subject of absinthe but almost certainally the most accessable, enjoyable and visual. The images throughout are ecceptional in the diversity ranging from glorified, idiealistic portraits by Van Gogh, to anti-Absinthe propaganda courtesy of the Fench Goverment. This book is throughly researched and provides an insighful backdrop the the romantised world of 'absinthe-culture'. Not only is the research extensive and the images captivating, there are also mini-biographies and absinthe-celebrating poems the fasciniating and often tragic charactors of Verlaine, Rimbaud, Wilde and Baudelaire. Overall the book is a pleasure, easy to absorb and easy to find oneself captured in.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enthiastic look at a notorious drink., 19 May 2000

By	mickd1@fsmail.net (Oxford, U.K) - See all my reviews

Now that absinthe is available in the U.K. at last, this book provides a wealth of information on this most maligned yet enticing spirit. Packed with knowledge, and written in a colourful prose, Conrad has given us the definitive book on one of the most notorious drinks of the last 200 years.
