Author: Augustin Parmentier
Before us is a truly remarkable book, first printed at the Royal Printing House in Paris in 1779. Its main subject is the making of bread from potato flour, but the work is much more than a simple treatise on breadmaking. It is also an autobiographical testimony to the struggle of a progressive and creative spirit against prejudice, ignorance, false science, and unfounded claims—in the fight against one of humanity’s greatest enemies and, even today, a modern horseman of the Apocalypse: Hunger.
Now, more than 230 years later, this remarkable book is being reprinted for the first time—in Serbian.
