19. století
Plynové lampy blikají nad dlážděnými ulicemi, zatímco postavy procházejí světem přísných společenských pravidel, zakázaných vášní a proměnlivých průmyslových změn. Ať už v londýnských špinavých pracovních domech, ruských hernách nebo v salóncích anglických venkovských sídel, tato mistrovská díla zachycují lidství v jeho nejryzejší a nejvznešenější podobě během éry bezprecedentních otřesů.
