A review by eantoinette285
The Book of the Courtier by Baldassare Castiglione

4.0

This was a pretty fascinating insight to the ideal Renaissance couple. Even if it was a bit of a self-help read, it was amusing to understand what life at court was like and what they found of great importance. What is even better about it is seeing the transition to today's culture. There are still lessons we can draw from these earlier examples on how to carry ourselves.
