Swans, Legends of the Jet Society (book) by Nicholas Foulkes. Assouline Publishers. 2013. 296 pages, 200 illustrations. Dimensions: W 10.98 x L 13.97 x D 24 in. Weight: 8 lb. Hardcover in slipcase. New in English, blister-packed.
Once a symbol of polished, high-society glamour, the word “jet set” conjures up images of exotic destinations and golden beaches; clandestine rendezvous on opulent yachts; star-studded parties in sumptuous mansions; women in haute couture gowns and glittering jewelry; men in elegant tuxedos. The jet set was the last vestige of an age of leisure and culture, a world of taste and culture, elegance and beauty.
Swans: Legends of the Jet Society captures the spirit of a world where today’s technology was the stuff of science fiction, and where foreign travel was the preserve of a privileged few. From the aristocracy of yesteryear to today’s ultra-wealthy tycoons, this breathtaking book is full of travel escapades, money, sex, and adventure. These are the legends of the jet set: tales of glamour, excitement, and exclusivity.
The author, Nicholas Foulkes, is a British historian, author, and journalist.
