Summary

An extraordinary look at an ordinary substance—and one we'd be dead without: salt.

Salt has shaped civilization from the very beginning, and the story of this common household seasoning proves a fascinating one. In a kaleidoscope of history, Mark Kurlansky—bestselling author of  1968 and Cod—blends economic, scientific political, religious, and culinary elements to produce this tasty account of salt, the only rock we humans eat. Populated by colorful characters and filled with fascinating details,  Salt is a supremely spicy, multi-layered masterpiece.

Comme souvent avec les livres audio, on doit faire sans les notes de bas de page, la bibliographie...

Un bon narrateur, tant pour le texte que la lecture.
