Publisher's Synopsis

Focusing on the periods immediately before and after the French Revolution, Roberto Calasso recounts and interprets the downfall of what Baudelaire was already calling "the Modern". With French statesman Tallyrand serving as the book's "master of ceremonies", Calasso persuades us to see our civilization in an entirely new light.
