The Slim Princess

About this book

"The Slim Princess" by George Ade is a satirical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the fictitious Eastern European state of Morovenia, the story follows Princess Kalora, the daughter of Count Selim Malagaski, who defies societal expectations by rejecting the traditional ideals of beauty that value obesity. The novel explores themes of self-acceptance, societal norms, and the pursuit of personal happiness. At the start of the narrative, the rulers of Morovenia are depicted as struggling with the rigid cultural norms of their society, which dictate that women must be fat to be considered beautiful. Kalora, however, is slender and active, much to the dismay of her father, who dreams of arranging a suitable marriage for her. Meanwhile, her sister Jeneka faces her own challenges due to her attractive appearance, tying the fates of both sisters together under the oppressive societal rules. The opening of the novel introduces a web of intrigue surrounding Kalora, her family dynamics, and her growing awareness of her desire for independence, setting the stage for her eventual encounters with the outside world.
