Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the state of society in the late 19th century through a sharp and often humorous lens. The author, who writes with the keen observation of a social commentator and the wit of a satirist, delves into the shortcomings of the upper classes, arguing that they have lost their way, trading true refinement for a superficial â� �"smartnessâ� � that is more about outward display than genuine culture. He dissects the decadent habits of the wealthy, from their relentless pursuit of pleasure to their insatiable appetite for luxury that they ultimately fail to truly enjoy. The author criticizes the mindless pursuit of amusement and the pervasive boredom that underpins much of social life. He condemns the empty rituals of society, from extravagant weddings and funerals to the pointless salutes and handshakes that define social interactions. He also questions the supposed progress of the age, noting that while the working classes are criticized for their drinking and gambling habits, the educated classes engage in the same vices, albeit with more refined trappings. Ultimately, the author suggests that society has lost its way, embracing a shallowness that threatens to erode its very foundation. His astute observations offer a scathing critique of late Victorian society and a cautionary tale for any age that values outward appearances over genuine substance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330507513_0
