Absinthe, Barnaby Conrad III
Absinthe confuses and fascinates. It was illegalized in the early part of the 20th century because it was suspected of inducing psychosis. It contains wormwood which has hallucinogenic properties. The “absinthe” that is now sold, is not the real thing because it contains none of the bitter wormwood. Authentic absinthe is green, similar to pastis in taste except for the bitter component coming from the wormwood. In Absinthe, Mr. Conrad III describes the history of this bitter drink. Plenty of photography. Copyright 1988, first edition, first printing, full-color, softcover, 160 pages, condition excellent (very slight wear)
