Synopsis

Medieval Feasts unveils the opulent dining experiences of medieval European kings and nobles, revealing how these events were much more than simple meals. They were carefully designed displays of power and wealth, integral to social hierarchies and even political maneuvering. The book explores how the sheer scale of these banquets required immense resources and organizational prowess. Furthermore, the seemingly bizarre delicacies consumed, driven by beliefs about health, status, and the exotic, offer a unique window into the medieval mindset.

 


 
The book progresses by initially examining the logistics involved in organizing these grand feasts, from sourcing rare ingredients to managing extensive kitchen staff. It then delves into specific dishes and ingredients, explaining their cultural significance and perceived nutritional value. Finally, Medieval Feasts analyzes the role of these events in political and social life through case studies, demonstrating how they were essential to power dynamics and social cohesion, drawing from medieval cookbooks, archaeological finds, and illuminated manuscripts. This approach provides a fresh perspective by combining historical analysis with culinary insights, making it valuable for anyone interested in history, cooking, and the intersection of food and culture.

    Not since World War II have we faced an adversary so determined to achieve global dominance. At this moment, they are perfecting an arsenal of weapons to use against us: Quantum computing.

    Breakups are the worst. On one scale devised by psychiatrists, only a spouse's death was ranked as more stressful than a marital split. Is there any treatment for a breakup? The ancient Roman poet Ovid thought so. Having become famous for teaching the art of seduction in The Art of Love, he then wrote Remedies for Love (Remedia Amoris), which presents thirty-eight frank and witty strategies for coping with unrequited love, falling out of love, ending a relationship, and healing a broken heart. How to Get Over a Breakup presents an unabashedly modern prose translation of Ovid's lighthearted and provocative work, complete with a lively introduction. 
     
     
     
    Ovid's advice—which he illustrates with ingenious interpretations of classical mythology—ranges from the practical, psychologically astute, and profound to the ironic, deliberately offensive, and bizarre. Some advice is conventional—such as staying busy, not spending time alone, and avoiding places associated with an ex. Some is off-color, such as having sex until you're sick of it. And some is simply and delightfully weird—such as becoming a lawyer and not eating arugula. 
     
     
     
    Whether his advice is good or bad, entertaining or outrageous, How to Get Over a Breakup reveals an Ovid who sounds startlingly modern.
