The word "dandy" still retains an inexplicable shade of mysterious charm, and the dandy themselves are seen by us as eccentric aesthetes, creators of ingenious quirks. But who can be called a modern dandy? How did the modern canon of male elegance come about? Why did the dandy take the turtles for a walk? You will learn about these serious and sometimes funny things by reading Olga Weinstein's book "Dandy." Among the main characters of the book are the famous British dandy George Brummell, French goldfinches Count d'Orsay, Barbe D'Oreville and Charles Baudelaire, decadents Oscar Wilde and Count Robert de Montesquieu.
