Aphrodite by Isabel Allende

Aphrodite by Isabel Allende

'Explores the enduring and passionate bond between the culinary and the carnal' PEOPLE

A personal ode to the pleasures of food and sex, Isabel Allende brings her magical storytelling powers to exploring the intertwined sensual arts of food and love. Blending personal reminiscence with folklore from around the world, historical legends, and memorable moments from literature, Allende spices her narrative with equal portions of humour and insight, and offers suggestions, both ancient and modern, for everything from luring a lover to reviving flagging virility.

Assembling a feast of fascinating facts about the aphrodisiac powers of food and drink, Aphrodite is celebration of sensual life filled with joy and imagination and an irresistible treat for the senses.

Born in Peru and raised in Chile, Isabel Allende is a literary living legend and phenomenon. With 77 million books sold, she is the most-read author in the Spanish language throughout the world, and a blockbuster international bestseller of adult novels. A novelist, feminist and philanthropist, Isabel won worldwide acclaim in 1982 with her first novel, The House of the Spirits. Her work has been translated into over 42 languages, and received the PEN Center Lifetime Achievement Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She lives in California.
