What is Lebanon all about? Why has this tiny, fertile Mediterranean country become a byword for violence & chaos in the minds of much of the world? In ” Spirit of the Phoenix” veteran broadcast journalist Tim Llewellyn wanders the streets of Beirut
- the city he once lived in during the civil war
- in search of answers to these questions. On every wall there is a poster, in every cafe a dish, on every building a feature, which suggests the history of one of the many peoples that make up this extraordinarily diverse & volatile country. In this lyrical journey of political & historical discovery, Llewellyn traces the signs, & tells the stories of the Druze, the Maronites & the Shia, The Sunnis, the Armenians & the Alawites. Interviewing footsoldiers & priests, refugees, warlords & gangsters, he evokes the cacophony of competing narratives, cultures & memories with which the city resounds. He also celebrates the qualities which unite the Lebanese, from the Hezbollah heartlands to the Gucci superstore: resilience, resourcefulness & spirit. As Lebanon stands once more at the brink of crisis, ” Spirit of the Phoenix” offers an introduction to the country`s fractious politics & an unforgettable portrait of a people that continue to rise again & again from the ashes.

But forget shelling out GBP8.50 at faux-speakeasies and hyper-modern molecular establishments - the place to cocktail is at home. Expressly structured for the amateur, the first chapter of this book shows how just six bottles are needed for 25 classic cocktails. From this simple start the book brings a wealth of
cocktail recipes and knowledge, all the while reminding you of the pleasures of cocktailing chez vous. From a Pean to the Spritz and a rehabilitation of the Bronx, through cocktail history and cocktailonomics, to go-to lists like `The Top 5 Girly Drinks`, The Spirits is a perfect mix.Informative recipes blended with whimsy and anecdote are given a dash of fun, and finished with a twist of brilliantly wry humour.
