Présentation de l'éditeur
The Vice of Fools Set forth in pomp she came. Richard II. v, I. Official Washington was huddled in the drawing-rooms of the Secretary of War. All sorts and conditions of bureaucracy were there. Lean, litigious congressmen with shaggy locks, or corpulent and pompous senators with radiant bald spots, touched shoulders with cabinet officers and their clerks, while scornful diplomats with glittering baubles dangling from their coat lapels mingled with officers in blue and gold and everywhere were the rustling gowns of pretentious wives and pretty daughters. These people smirked and nodded, prattled and jostled with the gratifying consciousness that they were fulfilling the function for which the chance of party supremacy had chosen them.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, reflecting upon the Victorian era's preoccupation with society's vanity, captures the drama and superficiality of Washington D.C. society. The author's descriptions of social events and political intrigue provide insight into the motivations of those who seek power and admiration, revealing the darker impulses that lurk beneath the glittering surface. However, this book is not merely a critique of society's follies but also a reminder that even in the most artificial of settings, genuine emotion and human connection can arise. Love and ambition collide as a cast of vivid characters navigate the treacherous terrain of social status, showcasing the eternal struggle between the heart and the mind and ultimately exploring the complexities of human nature within a rigid social framework. 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 réf. du vendeur 9781331172277_0
