Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a glimpse into the sinful side of an 18th-century London through the eyes of a Spanish noble. The author's fantastic narrative follows Don Cleofas and his devilish guide through high society and the notorious theater district. Through witty dialogue and exciting escapades, this book uncovers the ways in which wealth and privilege corrupted the morals of the powerful and the poor alike. The author provides a fascinating look into the elite circles of the time and adds an entertaining supernatural element that enhances the book's appeal. Within its historical context, this book is not just a scandalous expose; it is an indictment of the unchecked power of the nobility and the hypocrisy of the church during a time of great societal upheaval. Moreover, the book's critique of the theater as an engine of societal decay is particularly insightful. The author's wit and devilish perspective help expose the dark heart of London high society that was hidden from the common eye in the 18th century.
