Gobineau, better known in historical circles for his controversial political writings, here channels his literary talents into richly imagined narratives that chronicle the lives, passions, and intrigues of noble bloodlines. Translated and introduced by Douglas Parmee, this English edition brings Gobineau's elegant, ironic prose style to a wider audience, capturing the grandeur and melancholy of a fading aristocratic world. The stories move with a measured, sophisticated tone, illustrating the complex interplay between fate, lineage, and desire that defined the upper echelons of nineteenth-century European society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956310028507,"sku":"2026100008501-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0e790bb1-31e9-4b60-a6c7-1ffc11f9e529.png?v=1783499473","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008501-secondhand-sons-of-kings","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
