Summary "Apologie pour les nouveaux-riches" by Thierry Sandre is a satirical commentary written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1920s. The book examines the social implications and attitudes towards the nouveau riche class that emerged following the First World War in France. It likely addresses themes such as wealth accumulation, social status, and the characteristics associated with newly affluent individuals in society. In this work, Sandre explores the newly enriched individuals known as "nouveaux-riches," often focusing on their lack of refinement and social graces. Through a series of insightful and humorous observations, he critiques their behaviors, attitudes, and the ways they navigate the post-war social landscape. The author contrasts these new wealthy individuals with the more traditionally established classes, discussing the moral and ethical implications of their wealth, while also recognizing the societal changes brought about by the war. Ultimately, Sandre’s analysis serves as both a critique and an exploration of the dynamics of wealth and social status in modern France. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
