Far from the borders of the XVIII and XIX centuries, the author explores the metamorphoses of luxury: the crowded festivities and the exquisite techniques of the Sun king, friendly feasts and fan-fraud frances, aristocratic rarats and the contracts of nouveau riche, wastefulness and accumulation. It"s not about customs, but about the ways of existence and ways to possess - with their background, restrictions, stimuli, prohibitions, as well as ethical and aesthetic consequences
