The Gilded Age, Part 2. by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner
"The Gilded Age, Part 2." by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner is a satirical novel published in 1873. The story follows a poor rural family's attempts to sell their vast Tennessee landholdings, focusing on their adopted daughter Laura, who becomes a Washington lobbyist seeking congressional support. Meanwhile, two young men pursue land speculation fortunes. This collaboration between Twain and Warner satirizes the greed, political corruption, and social pretensions of post-Civil War
America, giving an entire era its enduring name. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
