Entre los grandes escritores del siglo XIX, Lev Nicoláievich Tolstói (1828-1910) ha sido calificado como genio único, sin equivalente en ningún otro país. Hijo de un acaudalado terrateniente que le dejó una fortuna inmensa, se lanzó por la vía de la disipación hasta que su participación como oficial durante la guerra de Crimea le hizo volverse hacia unos valores humanistas y continuar una vocación literaria en la que ya se había iniciado antes de la guerra. El cambio afectó a sus convicciones espirituales más íntimas y desembocaría, al final de su vida, en una crisis moral y religiosa que derivó hacia un cristianismo evangélico radical. Al comienzo de esta etapa escribe Ana Karenina, en la que Tolstói refleja su visión de la sociedad urbana, símbolo de los vicios y el pecado, en oposición a la vida sana de la naturaleza y del campo. De ese mundo necio y patológico de la ciudad es víctima Ana Karenina, que se ha convertido en una figura clave de la literatura universal.

This book contains more cocktails than any other - 1,500 of them, ranging from classic Martinis to unblushing modern concoctions such as Sex on the Beach. Recipes are user friendly, assembled on a 'unit' basis that clearly shows the proportions needed to make the perfect cocktail - without fuss. Ingredients and equipment are easy to acquire, techniques straightforward. Bewildering measures - 'jigger', 'half-gill' 3/4 fl oz - are avoided. There is much entertainment to be found in these pages too, with revealing anecdotes about many of the cocktails, and generous sprinklings of apposite quotations, risque jokes and little curiosities. The Ultimate Cocktail Book is more than a reference guide, it's a concocter's companion and a source of enlightenment. A volume tailor-made, in short, for good mixers.
