Gilded Age, A Tale of Today (version 2)

Originally published in 1873, The Gilded Age A Tale of Today stands as Mark Twains only co-authored novel, crafted alongside his close friend C.D. Warner. This collaboration ignited from a playful challenge posed by their wives. The title The Gilded Age has since become a powerful symbol of graft, materialism, and corruption in public life, themes that resonate profoundly in todays society. Twains keen observations and character-driven narratives draw from real-life events and relatives, a connection he later revealed in his 2011 Autobiography. Join us as we explore this timeless reflection of American society, narrated by John Greenman.
