Afrodita

Allende's beautifully illustrated new work is not a novel but an exaltation of aphrodisiacs and a review of how they have been used by different cultures throughout history. The stories cover a variety of topics, ranging from the aphrodisiac properties of certain foods to anecdotes from the author's own experience. Included are a number of recipes recommended to stimulate more than just your taste buds. This book will delight readers with its imagination, wit, and good taste.
