In India food has served to express religious values, philosophical positions or material power, and between norms and narration Indian literature has dedicated ample space to the subject, presenting a broad range of diverse or variously aligned positions, and evidence of their evolution over time. This book provides a collection of essays on the subject, taking a broad and varied approach ranging chronologically from Vedic antiquity to the evidence of our own day, thus exposing, as in a sort of comprehensive outline, many of the tendencies, tensions and developments that have occurred within the framework of constant self-analysis and reflection.Indiabicsscculturefoodindian cultureindian foodLiteratureIndiaPieruccini Cinzia322508Rossi Paola MScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910347045403321A World of Nourishment2565955UNINA
