This book examines the life of the Russian capital nobility of the early 19th century, unique due to the conventions and unspoken codes accepted in society, emotions, some of which were appropriate to demonstrate, and some had to be suppressed. The book, whose heroes lived in an era later called the golden age of Russian culture, is replete with examples from biographies, memoirs, letters, fiction and can serve as an accessible introduction to the history of everyday life of the Russian nobility. How did the aristocrats of the 19th century communicate with each other - spouses, relatives, friends, bosses and subordinates, what was the feast like, how they behaved in days of joy and sorrow, what etiquette norms they considered necessary to teach to children - all this can be learned from the work of historian Alina Shokareva.
