Features: This book is the originator of Western etiquette studies—Baron von Knigge's work from 1788, which has been republished over a hundred times in more than 200 years and remains a bestseller. Von Knigge has become synonymous with Western etiquette. The "Manual of Etiquette" compiled by von Knigge focuses more on teaching the art of human relationships. The baron wrote, "The purpose of these rules is to make your words and actions as harmonious and pleasant as possible for group life, and to keep the people around you in a cheerful and healthy mood." From this point of view, our "Comprehensive Etiquette of von Knigge" will also devote considerable space to elaborating on some universal principles that should be followed in handling interpersonal relationships.
