"Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich" by Stephen Leacock is a collection of humorous interwoven vignettes published in 1914. Set on Plutoria Avenue in an unnamed American city, the book follows wealthy members of the Mausoleum Club, satirizing their obsessive individualism and materialism. This companion work to "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town" ranks among Leacock's most scathing and funniest works, penetrating upper-class sham with cheerful satire. The book became extremely popular in North America and even a bestseller in the Soviet Union. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
