The book explores the concept of "snobs" through a historical lens, arguing that they are a natural part of society, akin to objects in Natural Science. The author eloquently claims a personal mission to analyze and document this phenomenon, suggesting that society has been preparing for such a work. Using historical examples, the narrative illustrates that when a nation faces a crisis, a suitable individual emerges to address its needs, paralleling the theatrical world where solutions appear just in time.
