From the author A philology student timidly enters the bar... A benign and tipsy regular: Look who came! Congratulations! You fought your way through War and Peace, you nearly burned in Fahrenheit 451, and you bravely swam through Moby Dick. Okay, okay, you almost drowned in Moby Dick, but you still made it to shore! You honestly deserve a good drink! Well, hold on, fighter, you won't get away with beer. Not this time, my friend...

In order to pay tribute to the world's greatest writers, we have, with all our respect and love, created cocktails inspired by works that are worthy of decorating any library. Educational, so to speak, sips for those in love with the magic of words. Dear regulars of drinking establishments and book clubs, as well as everyone who comfortably nestles between these two extremes! You are welcome to try the recipes from this book. Be brave!
