Enjoying luxury requires knowledge and curiosity.
Peter Mayle. 1939–2018. British author.
This book offers a glimpse into the lifestyles of wealthy people in Europe and America. The human desire for luxury is almost instinctive; if it's still not enough, one desire after another arises. When unexpected income strikes, it explodes. The author, Mr. Mail, a bestselling writer, discusses this desire in an entertaining essay format.
From shoe care to riding in a limousine, Panama hats, bespoke suits, antiques, fine dining, cigars, villas, hotel stays, whiskey, private jets, and even risqué topics like advice on lawsuits and how to deal with mistresses—you'll find here the values of one person, unaffected by the rapidly changing world.
If you were suddenly blessed with unexpected wealth, what would you do? Save it? Spend it? I would buy as many books as I could and immerse myself in the world of words. Not much different from my current life, is it?
Thank you for reading.
Well then, goodbye. Take care :)
