{"product_id":"salt-3","title":"Salt","description":"Homer called it a divine substance. Plato described it as especially dear to the gods. As Mark Kurlansky so brilliantly relates here, salt has shaped civilisation from the beginning, and its story is a glittering, often surprising part of the history of mankind. Wars have been fought over salt and, while salt taxes secured empires across Europe and Asia, they have also inspired revolution - Gandhi''s salt march in 1930 began the overthrow of British rule in India. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the rural Sichuan province where the last home-made soya sauce is produced to the Cheshire brine springs that supplied salt around the globe, Mark Kurlansky has produced a kaleidoscope of world history, a multi-layered masterpiece that blends political, commercial, scientific, religious and culinary records into a rich and memorable tale.","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51456130285915,"sku":"9780099281993","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/salt-3","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
