New confessions about Absinthe

By Benoît Noël Yes, a bit of absinthe invigorates the Mozart that lies dormant within us, too much of it kills him. No, absinthe does not contain gentian. Yes, there is a genius of the bottle, but there is no god of drunkards. No, absinthe is not necessarily bitter. Yes, an "absinthism" worker gives up on unionizing, as Zola feared. Did Paul Gauguin entrust his bottle of absinthe to the coolness of an oceanic well? Is the "bitter of Jura" a love potion or a visionary fluid? Did the Swiss police find clandestine stills in manure pits? These are just some of the many statements and questions to which you will find answers in this book, which wisely complements "Absinthe, a Franco-Swiss Fairy" by the same author: Divided into three distinct parts, it narrates for you in detail the great and small history of the fairy of feints.
