Krátky popis
'Fascinating' Katherine May'Beautifully written, lyrical and
unflinching' Charlotte Fox WeberThe day Jessica Hamel-Akre
discovered the ideas of George Cheyne - an eighteenth-century
polymath and London society figure known as 'Dr Diet' - it sparked
an intellectual obsession, a ten-year study of women's appetite and
a personal unravelling.In this bold and radical book, Hamel-Akre
follows Cheyne through the pages of medical studies, novels and
historical scandals, meeting ash-eating mystics, wasting society
girls, impoverished female fasters and early feminist philosophers,
all of whom were once grappling with nascent ideas around food,
longing and the body. In doing so, she uncovers the
eighteenth-century origins of both today's diet culture and her own
troubled relationship with wanting.Blending history and memoir, The
Art of Not Eating will change the way we look at appetite, desire,
rationality and oppression, and show how it all got tangled up with
what we eat.
