About This Book

A narrative follows a young prince led from imperial pageantry into a squalid quarter as part of a moral education that contrasts power with everyday misery and challenges ingrained prejudices; an encounter with local children and a struggling Jewish family exposes assumptions about dignity and humanity. Interwoven episodes trace a young woman who is lured into a pavilion and confronts a libertine attachment when her portrait is involved, prompting flight into a garden and inner turmoil. The work juxtaposes public ritual and private passion to examine social hypocrisy, religious and class prejudice, and the shaping of conscience.
