«Les set aromes del món» is the novel by Alfred Bosch, published by Planeta CAT in paperback (350 pages, in Catalan).
In seventeenth-century Europe, coffee stirs conflicting passions: some accuse it of causing impotence and leprosy, while others regard it as an aphrodisiac and universal panacea. Félix Dufoy, obsessed with finding the perfect coffee, observes and smells it without ever tasting it. His quest leads him from Puritan London to the harem of Istanbul, from the mountains of Arabia to Abyssinia, and from Negrería to Brazil's great plantations, revealing enigmas of his own past.
The novel won the Premi Ramon Llull 2004 and belongs to the Ramon Llull collection, as volume 76.
For readers of historical and adventure fiction who want a journey through the origins of coffee and the contradictions of the seventeenth century.
Alfred Bosch i Pascual is a Catalan academic, journalist, author, politician and a former Minister of Foreign Action, Institutional Relations and Transparency of Catalonia. He was previously a member of the Congress of Deputies of Spain and a member of Barcelona City Council.
