It is done with the emphasis put on the Czech aristocrats, especially the Schwarzenberg family. From different points of view the respective chapters examine different elements and layers of the ideology underlying the noble game-keeping that made up a significant constituent of the "other reality", into which the aristocracy confined themselves in the era of citizenship.
