Librería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the misadventures of an Irish gentleman in Regency England. After losing his wife at a young age, the hero of our story is adopted by his uncle, where he chafes at the restrictions placed on him, dreaming of joining the military instead. Upon being unexpectedly made the heir to his grandfather's fortune, the hero delights in shedding his old life for one of rakish pleasure. The author takes the reader on a romp through London ballrooms, introduces them to a cast of charismatic characters, and lightly satirizes the follies of the beau monde. At its heart, the book is a witty and scandalous take on the lifestyles of the rich and famous in the early 19th century. It highlights the idea that pursuing pleasure as one's sole purpose in life, to the exclusion of all else, might in fact be its own kind of misery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
