Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the roguish adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom, a cunning orphan who relies on charm and wit to survive in the 18th-century European aristocracy. As Fathom seeks to elevate his social status through a strategic marriage, the author explores the themes of deception, ambition, and the blurred lines between virtue and vice in an era of social upheaval. Ferdinand's cunning and ability to manipulate those around him reveal the dark underbelly of polite society, which is often driven by self-interest and vanity. The author provides insights into the realities of class and privilege, as well as the ways in which individuals can use their intelligence and charisma to both succeed and corrupt those around them. Ultimately, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of the nature of morality and the dangers of unchecked ambition.
