About This Item
1883 Mark Twain 1st UK ed The Gilded Age Novel American US Politics Government
"A woman's intuition is better than a man's. Nobody knows anything, really, you know, and a woman can guess a good deal nearer than a man."
― Mark Twain, The Gilded Age
Appearing in more than 100 editions, this lesser-known Twain novel is his only work in which he collaborated with another author. "The Gilded Age" has become synonymous with materialism and the corruption, greed, and selfishness amongst mankind, particularly in Washington D.C.
This 1883 first British edition features 212 illustrations.
