Harms of Manners

"There is a tyrant who has taken a beautiful name as a shield. A tyrant who takes us captive even in those privileged situations that our will offers us and that the laws do not hinder in any way... This tyrant also opposes nature and does not allow it to shape human beings freely. This tyrant is nothing but manners. Those who challenge this tyrant are unfairly labeled as ill-mannered."

Hagop Baronyan combines his sharp, satirical pen with the sarcasm of his deep observation. The social life of the Armenian community in Istanbul at the end of the 19th century, with almost all its layers and textures, is seen within its own "natural" settings. The Dangers of Manners promises to be an enjoyable read on the etiquette and manners we need in daily life.
