Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Non lasciarti scoraggiare dalla parola etichetta. Emily Post in realtà parla di gentilezza, di naturalezza e del non mettere gli altri in imbarazzo. La sua edizione completa del 1922, la prima, copre tutto, dalle presentazioni alle buone maniere a tavola, dai matrimoni alle lettere, fino a cosa indossare. Alcune regole ti faranno sorridere perché i tempi sono cambiati. Il cuore del libro non è cambiato affatto. Le buone maniere, ci mostra, sono la considerazione resa visibile.
