William Ritchey Newton Bücher

Auch am französischen Königshof war nicht alles Gold, was glänzte: Wo mehr als 4000 Menschen auf engstem Raum zusammenlebten, ergaben sich handfeste Probleme. Die Hofdamen froren erbärmlich vor den zugigen Kaminen, saubere Wäsche war Mangelware und allzumenschliche Bedürfnisse ließen sich bei den ständig verstopften Latrinen kaum befriedigen. William Ritchey Newton wirft einen völlig neuen Blick auf das Leben am Hof von Versailles. Dabei kommt Sensationelles, Kurioses und Unappetitliches ans Licht. Eine höchst amüsante Kulturgeschichte.
