American Nobility: From the French of Pierre De Coulevain is a book translated by Alys Hallard that explores the concept of American aristocracy. The author, Pierre De Coulevain, was a French writer who lived in the United States for many years and was fascinated by the country's social structure. In this book, he argues that while America does not have a traditional nobility based on birth and title, it does have a class of wealthy and influential individuals who hold a similar position of power and privilege. De Coulevain examines the lives of these American nobles and their impact on society, politics, and culture. He looks at their origins, their education, their social circles, and their relationships with each other and with the wider world. He also considers the ways in which they differ from European aristocrats, and how their unique position has shaped American society. The book is written in a lively and engaging style, with anecdotes and personal observations that bring the subject matter to life. It provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-explored aspect of American history and culture, and offers insights into the complex dynamics of power and privilege in any society. Overall, American Nobility is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the United States or the nature of social class.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
