"Manuel de la politesse des usages du monde et du savoir-vivre" by Jules Rostaing is a guide on social etiquette and manners written in the 19th century. The book explores the intricacies of politeness in various social settings, emphasizing the importance of decorum and kindness among individuals in society. Through historical context, it also reflects on the manners of the French court, particularly during the reign of Louis XIV. At the start of this work, the author introduces the main theme: the necessity of understanding etiquette and politeness in social relations, which he aims to elucidate throughout the text. He distinguishes between court etiquette and salon etiquette, illustrating how the latter reflects the norms of good company and social obligations. The opening recounts scenes from a day in the life of Louis XIV, detailing the elaborate ceremonies surrounding his daily routine, such as his morning rituals and interactions with courtiers. This establishes a vivid portrayal of how manners were not just rules but intertwined with the functioning of power and prestige at the court of Versailles.
