This volume is devoted to the heyday of the European aristocracy and all its inherent weaknesses: insane luxury, reaching the decoration of shoes with diamonds, revealing women's outfits, in which a neckline appeared, which quickly expanded the traditional ideas of decency. It was then that in Spain for the first time in the world there was a fashion for wearing glasses, in Germany they came up with a real military uniform, and in France the habit of walking with loose hair until old age led to a craze for wigs. However, it was also not fashionable to grow old then - age was not in control of the bright and noisy crowd, captured by the endless holiday of life.
