Double Storey, 2004.
160 pages.
A reissue of a classic South African cookbook, which is at the same time a book of profound wisdom and great delight. Martin Versveld was a man of many parts and philosopher of renown and, in this work he provides stimulation and, quite literally, food for thought. If it offers new insights into what may be termed the "semiotics of gastronomy", it also transcends our customary systems of thought to become an inquiry into human values.
MARTIN VERSFELD, well-known former Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cape Town, was born in Cape Town in 1909. He wrote several books "that strayed far from academic concerns", including Klip en Klei (about the philosophy of houses), Die neukery met die Appelboom, Pots and Poetry and Food for Thought: A Philosopher's Cookbook. He died in 1995.
Inscription & stamp on title page, but tightly bound and in very good condition overall.
