Sommario/riassunto

Gravenstein. Coe's Golden Drop. Mendocino Cox. The names sound like  something from the imagination of Tolkien or perhaps the ingredients in  a dubious magical potion rather than what they are-varieties of apples.  But as befits their enchanting names, apples have transfixed and  beguiled humans for thousands of years. Apple: A Global History explores the  cultural and culinary importance of a fruit born in the mountains of  Kazakhstan that has since traversed the globe to become a favorite  almost everywhere. From the Garden of Eden and Homer's Odyssey<
