Divided into more than seventy-five entries, <em>All the Time in the World</em> is brimming with witty bons mots, interesting etymologies, and arresting anecdotes encompassing an array of cultures and eras. Subjects covered include the daylong ceremony of laying a royal Elizabethan tablecloth; the radicalization of sartorial chic in 1890s Paris; Nostradamuss belief in the aphrodisiac power of jam; the sensuous practice of sniffing incense in fifteenth-century Japan; the American fascination with flaming desserts; the short-lived artistic discipline of lumia, or visual music; the evolution of coffee from a religious ritual to a forbidden delight in the Middle East; Henriette dAngevilles fearless and wine-fueled ascent of Mont Blanc; the elaborate treasure hunts concocted by Londons Bright Young Things; and the musical revolution known as bebop. An antidote to the contemporary cult of getting things done, <em>All the Time in the World</em> revives forgotten treasures of the past while inspiring a passion for good living in the present.</p>...2453345All the Time in the World112124https://www.gandhi.com.mx/all-the-time-in-the-world-9780385535427/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2844218/6fc1a3a8-a8a3-41a1-aeba-e00e4fa082b7.jpg?v=638384528866970000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20139780385535427_W3siaWQiOiJmMjA0MGNiMC02YzZkLTRmNjAtOTg5OS1jYmI1YTFiYjE0MzUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjExNywiZGlzY291bnQiOjEyLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjEwNSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMDY6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780385535427_<p><strong>Entertaining, unexpected, and full of charm, the follow-up to Jessica Kerwin Jenkinss <em>Encyclopedia of the Exquisite</em> presents a miscellany of engaging stories, detailing the intriguing customs, traditions, and guilty pleasures pursued throughout the ages.</strong></p><p><em>All the Time in the World</em> takes its cue from an iconic component of medieval life, the book of hours, which prescribed certain readings and contemplations for certain parts of the day throughout the year.
