Adam Smith et al.

About the Book

Adam Smith et al. alternates book-club discussions about such important writers as Thomas Paine, Mary Wollstonecraft, Thoreau, and Nietzsche, with interesting short narratives about the discussants themselves. Since each session ends with a gastronomic feast, the text also includes recipes of the food consumed by the members of the book group.
