The Gilded Age, Part 5. by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner
"The Gilded Age, Part 5" by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner is a satirical novel published in 1873. This collaboration exposes greed and political corruption in post-Civil War America through the story of a struggling rural family attempting to profit from a vast land inheritance. As the beautiful adopted daughter Laura navigates Washington society as a lobbyist, and ambitious young men pursue fortune through land speculation, the novel reveals how the
thirst for wealth and power corrupts every level of society—ultimately giving this notorious era its enduring name. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
