The Wine Master - a book by Noah Gordon
Art. # 4112Spain, the second half of the 19th century.
Josep Alvarez is a young man from the wine-growing village of Santa Eulalia in Catalonia, where his father cultivates local grape varieties and sells the wine for cheap vinegar.
Josep loves the land and rural work, but his father's vineyard will be inherited by his brother Donat, the firstborn son. But Josep feels an innate need to cultivate the land and longs for the vineyards, as well as for the opportunity to marry his beloved girl.
In Madrid, the assassination attempt against the country's prime minister, plotted by people with wealth and power, creates a whirlwind of intrigues that sucks in a group of innocent youths from Santa Eulalia. How these events drastically change Josep's life and how, ironically, they gradually turn him into an inspired master of wine with a clear idea of life – this is the exciting tale in The Wine Master by Noah Gordon, author of the world-famous novels The Physician and The Shaman.
