Produktbeschreibung
The City of Masks is a story that delves into the complexities of identity, social class, and the contrast between appearance and reality. The narrative centers around characters from various aristocratic backgrounds who navigate their lives in the vibrant and competitive world of New York City. At the heart of the story is the tension between the social facades people maintain and the personal struggles they face. The characters, from a fashion salon hostess to a governess with noble roots, find themselves entwined in a society that values outward appearances over true connections. The story explores the dynamics of high-society gatherings, where individuals with varying backgrounds such as aristocrats, foreign dignitaries, and commoners interact in a blend of drama and social maneuvering. As the characters navigate their personal dilemmas and the expectations of their roles in society, they are forced to confront the masks they wear to fit in. Ultimately, the narrative examines the emotional toll of social masks and the personal quests for independence and self-discovery in a world defined by status and outward perceptions.
