Narcissus? Burglar? Illusionist? The dandy never stops changing roles, putting himself on stage in order to protect his true self and maintain his independence. But let us not forget that his first obligation is to amaze. As a master of appearances, he invents poses and derives pleasure from hiding his face behind multiple masks to confuse his audience. From Fortunio to Ars ne Lupin, from Saint-Just to Romain Gary, without forgetting the female dandy, the sixteen studies in this book present an exceptional gallery of figures that delineate the history of dandyism. We will discover the art of being a dandy and unexpected, even surprising incarnations, both literary and historical, of this mysterious character. So, masks up Let the show begin
