Description
“Kings in Exile” is a description of Parisian manners. And it doesn’t matter who is the central character in them—either the deposed royal family exiled from its country, or a beautiful model.
The fallen monarch became a sign of the times, but everyone knew that in the minds of many dethroned royals schemes for revenge were maturing, and that they had supporters. That’s why the novel of Dode took on a political tone—something his contemporaries noticed immediately. It’s interesting to note that the novel’s sharpness was felt even by the royal censorship, which in 1903 banned the book from distribution in Russia.
