The ball is a mirror of secular society: secret romances are tied here, important deals are discussed, and all this without breaking away from dizzying dances and necessary rituals. The author of the book, the famous radio host Irina Klenskaya, offers us to consider the story from an unusual angle, taking on the scenes of balls and receptions described in famous works: La Traviate, Nutcracker, Iolante, War and Peace, Borise Godunova and Fauste. Omitting the dry enumeration of facts, Irina Klenskaya immerses the reader in the historical context gently, supplying excerpts from world masterpieces with her comments and observations taken from documentary sources. The whole book is a fascinating journey, accompanied by numerous illustrations of phenomena and heroes.
