Paris, C. Naud, Éditeur, 1899. 4to.; 2 hs., 94 pp., 1 h., con varias figuras y un mapa, entre el texto. Cubiertas originales. Lomeras reforzadas. La gutapercha, uno de los primeros plásticos naturales explotados por la revolución industrial, fue introducido en Occidente por el Doctor William Montgomerie en 1843 con el envío de muestras de dicha resina desde Singapur a la Royal Society of Arts en Londres, donde Michael Faraday y Bewley desarrollaron sus posibilidades tecnológicas y comerciales. En 1850 el primer cable submarino, con recubrimiento de gutapercha, fué tendido y para finales del siglo 250.000 millas de cable con gutapercha se hallaban en uso. Tardará cien años en ser sustituído por el polietileno. Cabe recordar también los numerosos aspectos de la vida victoriana inglesa y europea finisecular en los que influyó la gutapercha: desde las pelotas de golf, donde fue una gran revolución sustituyendo a las anticuadas pelotas escocesas de plumas y cuero, inservibles con las lluvias, a los objetos decorativos moldeados o los empastes de los dentistas. La demanda hizo avanzar su cultivo, de Asia a la América francófona.

Austin Clarke grew up in Barbados, enveloped in the heavenly smells and smoke of women cooking. From them, he learned how to prepare the beloved dishes of the island - Rich Golden Roast Pork, Fried King Fish, Breadfruit Cou-Cou and, of course, his very own Chicken Austintacious. He shares his recipes for these hearty meals and reminisces about the "slave" food that was so much a part of his life. Whether it's a story about the village butcher whose qualifications were somewhat suspect, or a sure-fire route to a woman's love through her stomach, Austin Clarke will make you hungry for the "hot cuisine" and spirit of the island. 248p.
