The Gilded AgeA Tale of TodayMark Twain and Charles Dudley WarnerPraised by historian Gary Wills as "our best political novel," this rollicking 1873 tale — co-written by the great American storyteller — portrays the rampant post-Civil War corruption of Washington, D.C. The title became synonymous with the era's wretched excesses, when crooked politicians and greedy speculators vied with bankers and industrialists to enrich themselves at the expense of the working class. Subtitled "A Tale of Today," it remains ever relevant. 400pp. 5 x 8.
