Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a bountiful collection of toasts, dating as far back as the ancient Greeks and Romans and spanning nations and cultures throughout history. Themed toasts cover a wide range of occasions, from the convivial to the patriotic, with participants from royalty and statesmen to soldiers and sailors, and even a Viking funeral dirge. While raising a glass to honor friends and family began early in human history, toasts offered for special events and holidays emerged much later, most likely in the Middle Ages. Toasts became increasingly popular with the rise of the middle class and the decline of the nobility. As with most customs, toasts made their way from the upper classes to the lower, eventually working their way into everyday life. This book includes historical context for the toasts alongside their actual texts, allowing readers to appreciate the cultural and historical events that influenced these unique literary forms. Additionally, insight into the evolution of toasts gives readers a glimpse into how people from various cultures throughout time celebrated life and camaraderie. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331728047_0
