Original illustrated Softcover with illustrated dustjacket. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. This delightful little volume first published in French in 1936 extols the many joys and benefits of wine. Wine drinkers will take pleasure in Gaston Derys's quaint appreciation of the grape and art lovers will admire Raoul Dufy's joyful watercolors. Reflecting the exuberance and elan of an earlier day Derys takes us back to a time when the doctor's favored prescription was an amiable glass of wine. In Derys's ode to wine here translated into English we discover that the medicinal and therapeutic uses of wine are it assists in fighting typhoid infant sicknesses and diabetes; it exerts a positive effect on one's character beauty and and it lends a fortifying power to athletes and soldiers. Supported by the comments of French doctors as well as Dufy's beautifully reproduced paintings Derys's argument to raise a glass of wine becomes pleasantly irrefutable.
