About This Novel

"History on the Bite of the Tongue" tells us: From ancient times to the present, food has always had a strong influence on the historical process. Whether it is the rise and failure of Napoleon, or the British crossing the threshold of agriculture and creating the industrial revolution, or even today, we buy food from all over the world in supermarkets, which fully proves that food has always been the main cause behind major changes such as social reform, political reorganization, land competition, industrial development, military conflicts, and economic expansion.
