Description: Arguably the first major American novel to satirize the political ì milieu of Washington, D.C. and the wild speculation schemes that ì exploded across the nation in the years that followed the Civil ì War, The Gilded Age gave this remarkable era its name. Co-written ì by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, this rollicking novel is ì rife with unscrupulous politicians, colorful plutocrats, and ì blindly optimistic speculators caught up in a frenzy of romance, ì murder, and surefire deals gone bust. First published in 1873 and ì filled with unforgettable characters such as the vainglorious ì Colonel Sellers and the ruthless Senator Dilsworthy, The Gilded ì Age is a hilarious and instructive lesson in American history.
