Il Piccolo Libro di Bridgerton
by Charlotte Browne published by Sonzogno is wonderful if you love that magical time that was the Regency period and Bridgerton the tv series (I confess, never seen.) In this nice, kind and funny book you'll discover the story of the Regency from 1811 to 1820. It was a convulsive historical moment in which Napoleon was, at first, the strongest Emperor of Europe, where Mozart introduced to everyone Così fan Tutte; when, again, Napoleon lost his power: Lord Byron died and there were strong polemics regarding the place where he had to rest in peace, considering the immorality of the man.
After many other historical facts, you'll discover also how to talk in regency-style thanks to the expressions used for describing men, women and situations.
You'll learn the best characteristics for becoming attracting in that society, with a lot of gossip; you'll dance wearing the perfect outfit and combing the hair according to the Regency-style: the importance of objects for a lady and their meaning will be a revelation.
Oh, a wonderful little book that will transport you in another era!
Perfect as Christmas-Gift, if you have romantic friends in love for past.
I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of the book.
