Zusammenfassung:Rakı is the traditional drink of this country, and as such, reflects the fundamental aspects of its personality. Though it's as clear as water, it turns white when water is added, and with a little ice, it envelops you in the heady scent of anise. What better evidence that nothing in this country is as it appears? And in the bottle rakı may appear rather innocuous but once you drink it...! The first book in English on the subject, Rakı: The Spirit of Turkey consists of five chapters. The first, "Rakı Culture", sums up the importance of rakı in Turkey's social and cultural life. The second chapter "The Origins of Rakı" focuses on what we know of the drink from historic records. "The Meyhane" outlines the characteristic features of the "tavern" tradition, as well as historic laws that governed them and how they affected everyday life. "The Çilingir Sofrası" delves in-to the world of mezes, the mainstay of a unique cuisine that has taken shape around the hub of rakı. The last chapter "Rakı as a Spirit" examines the subtleties of production and presentation that sets rakı apart from its peers, as well as rakı's commercial history.
