Gilded Age, A Tale of Today (version 2)

Gilded Age, A Tale of Today (version 2)

Mark Twain

The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, published in 1873, is the only novel co-written by Mark Twain and C.D. Warner. The book critiques the rampant materialism, corruption, and graft in American society during the post-Civil War era, themes that remain relevant today. Many characters and events are inspired by Twain's own family history and experiences. This collaboration arose from a challenge posed by their wives, showcasing Twain's keen social commentary through a fictional lens.
