La prosa è piacevole, tuttavia l'autore si cimenta nell'impresa di condensare 6000 anni di storia in 200 pagine: il risultato è prevedibilmente troppo stringato, i concetti si susseguono a gran velocità, alcuni sviluppi sono tattati in maniera affrettata. E' facile rimanere confusi.
Comunque la bibliografia è molto nutrita, lo consiglio come "indice" per successivi approfondimenti mirati.
____________________
An easy reading, for all wine lovers.
Writing style is simple and enjoyable, however the author tries to summarize 6000 years of wine history in just 200 pages: this results in a very fast book, where centuries flow at great speed and many central subjects are just mentioned. It's easy to get confused.
Anyway its bibliography is rich, I recommend it as a "index" for further deepening the matter. (
