Features: "Does Coffee Taste Bitter" is a collection of Chen Danyan's ten years of travel. The book introduces cafes in dozens of countries she has visited: there is the "Two Ugly Sisters Cafe" in Paris, a famous writer's cafe on the Seine River; and the Eagle Cafe in West Berlin, the closest cafe to the Berlin Wall. In this book, you taste not only coffee but also the culture and charm of foreign lands. With her profound cultural background, the author uses delicate and profound brushwork to show us the origins of each little shop, the mood of each row of chairs, and the appearance of each patron. Coupled with richly layered images and meticulously crafted details, the entire book is filled with the rich cultural aroma of coffee. Taking a leisurely moment to read such beautiful prose is like holding a cup of coffee that is "sweet as love, bitter as life, and black as death," offering a rare enjoyment.
