The years at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries are often called the "Belle Époque" or "beautiful era." Beautiful women, cabarets, can-can dances, electric lighting, the Eiffel Tower, the first automobiles, and a high society attending horse races - life was fun and exciting for those who could afford it.
But is it possible to enjoy exotic luxury and refined amusements when millions of people are forced to break their backs earning a living, and the world is rapidly sliding toward war? Beautiful women and great artists, incredible luxury and fun - what comes next?
