This book is for those who want to know more, and it's boring to sit in libraries while digging into dusty archives. It does not at all claim exceptional accuracy and complete objectivity. It is absolutely impossible to talk about the 18th century objectively. This era is full of grandiose achievements and great people, each of whom was by no means an angel in real life. Palace coups took place one after another, rulers and rulers were replaced on the throne, and their favorites were next to them.
