This is the English translation of the German book published in 1934. The fate of coffee is described from the earliest discoveries of its use, upon which several alternative views are given, including the disastrous observation of the effects of the Abyssinian Kaffa bush upon a herd of goats and its direct revelation to Mohammed by the Angel Gabriel. The various vicissitudes of the commodity in its gradual conquest of the world are described, serving as a background for the most vivid depictment of the social and historical events of the time, upon which the stimulant appears to have had a most conspicuous influence.
