The word "dandy" still retains an inexplicable shade of mysterious charm, and the dandies themselves are seen as eccentric aesthetes, creators of ingenious quirks. But who can be called a modern dandy? How did the modern canon of male elegance emerge? Why did dandies take turtles for a walk? About these serious and sometimes funny things you will learn by reading the book "Dandy" by Olga Weinstein. Among the main characters of the book - the famous British dandy George Brammell, French dandies Count d'Orsay, Barbe D'Aurevilly and Charles Baudelaire, decadents Oscar Wilde and Count Robert de Montesquieu. European dandyism appears for the first time as a distinct cultural tradition, implying not only a fashionable costume but also an everyday lifestyle, a refined demeanor, special body techniques, and a secret charisma. The book tells in detail about English clubs and gentlemen's pranks, about urban flanning and "optical duels", about social receptions and virtual aristocracy. A special section is devoted to the history of Russian dandyism and Russian stilyagas.
