Gin

Gene, which we know today, is a respectable drink in bottles of expensive glass, an integral part of sophisticated cocktails - has come a long way before gaining (or rather, to conquer) the current popularity. From the medieval experiments of doctors and alchemists to the Dutch Geneva, from the scourge of the London gateways, due to which the killings were committed and the families were ruined, to the underground pleasure of the time of the American dry law - in his book, Richard Barnett traces the whole story of Gin, and also talks about his own transformation from The amateur is an expert. The book also includes the most important texts about Gina, including satirical pamphlets of the XVIII century and one of the essays of Charles Dickens
