The Philosophy of Beards - Thomas Gowing - książka wyd. 2014

Opis

This eccentric Victorian book argues a strong case for the universal wearing of a beard—that essential symbol of manly distinction since ancient times. Thomas S. Gowing contrasts the vigor and daring of bearded men through history with the undeniable effeminacy of the clean-shaven. He reminds the modern man that "ladies, by their very nature, like everything manly," and cannot fail to be charmed by a "fine flow of curling comeliness." Gowing's book is now republished for the first time since 1850, accompanied by illustrations of impressive beards from history.
