Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book invites readers into the complex world of social status and reputation in 19th century Paris. The author reveals the lengths to which the protagonist, Crà pu, will go to become a member of the city's elite. The social scene of Paris during this time period was centered around the bourgeois class, and high society members established their reputation by attending lavish balls and social gatherings. The protagonist Crà pu conceives of a novel way to insert himself into this elite community: he will become Paris's most notorious gossip. Crà pu's vicious "List of Notables" compiles the city's most scandalous secrets, fears, and indiscretions and Crà pu's public listing of these exposes Paris's elite as not only morally bankrupt but also terrified of him. Ultimately, this book offers readers an incisive look at the cutthroat world of social climbing and gossip in 19th century Paris and explores the corrosive effects notoriety and fear can have on individuals and communities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
