En savoir plus sur le livre

On the occasion of the three-hundredth anniversary of Frederick the Great’s birth, the one-act play, The Fashion Monkey, written in 1742, recounts the story of the fashion-obsessed Marquis de la Faridondière and his uncle’s attempt to put a stop to his free-spending ways by proposing that he marry the particularly thrifty maiden Adélaïde. In his quest for the latest fashions, the marquis must also address matters of philosophy. The book collects this ambitious work and supplements it with the play and an essay on the intellectual environment of Frederick the Great, the cultural history of The Fashion Monkey, and the creation of de Borchgrave’s works.
