About This Book

A young woman mourns her father and is drawn from obscurity into the household and legacy of an aristocratic benefactor, where she establishes a salon and emerges as a public lecturer and cultural figure. An ambitious financier assembles distinguished contemporaries and resources to advance daring technological and aesthetic projects, prompting public demonstrations, debates, and private alliances that test ideals and intentions. The narrative interweaves episodes of social life, scientific wonder, and personal choice to examine the social power of beauty, the promise and risks of innovation, and the ways persuasion and organized patronage shape imagined futures.
