 | The Discovery of Chocolate by James Runcie, John Rubinstein
Diego de Godoy is part of the entourage of Cortes when he sails to America, and he returns with the gift of chocolate for his beloved, Isabella. By then, however, she has died--and over a hundred years have passed, but thanks to a magic potion Diego received in the New World, he has not aged (nor has his dog). As he makes his way through history, from the 1500s to the 1900s, Diego is imprisoned in the Bastille, waltzes through Strauss's Vienna, and is psychoanalyzed--and throughout his adventures, chocolate plays a major role.
