Robert Samber Libros

One of 60 low-priced classic texts published to celebrate Penguin's 60th anniversary. All the titles are extracts from "Penguin Classics" titles.

Contrary to what you might think, this book is not a celebration of alcoholism, but rather a satirical take on the excesses of 18th century French society. With biting wit and a keen eye for detail, the authors skewer the pretensions of the upper classes and call for a return to simplicity and moderation.
