Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the cultural phenomenon of the German duel, this critique delves into the absurdity and complexities surrounding the practice among upper-class men in fin-de-siècle Europe. It highlights the ritualistic nature of these deadly confrontations, often conducted with pistols despite legal restrictions. With ironic humor, the author examines the motivations and mindsets of duelists, revealing how societal values around masculinity drive this dangerous pastime. The narrative offers a blend of entertainment and insightful commentary on the egos and prejudices tied to the concept of "manliness."
