Today it is possible to buy almost any kind of spice cheaply in supermarkets and markets around the world. Yet there was a time when cinnamon was worth more than gold, and with enough nutmeg you could buy an island. Thomas Reinertsen Berg (Norway) explores the history of humanity via society’s link with spices in To the Ends of the Earth. This book takes us on a fascinating journey along the trade routes that were the engines of empire, discoveries and conflicts. In conversation with Ignacio Medina.
