Synopsis "The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today"

"A jury of inquest was impaneled, and after due deliberation and inquiry they returned the inevitable American verdict which has been so familiar to our ears all the days of our lives-'NOBODY TO BLAME." -The Gilded Age, (1873) The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873), is a two-volume satirical novel written by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner describing late 19th-century Washington D.C. and its cast of characters of corrupt politicians and greedy "robber barons." This period of political corruption and ostentatious materialism became known as the Gilded Age, named after this book. The Gilded Age, offering insight in the problems of growing wealth inequality, resembling those of early 21st century, is a true classic with lessons for modern times.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, más conocido como Mark Twain, ha pasado a la historia de la literatura gracias al ingenio, humor y picardía que destila su obra. A menudo considerado el Dickens estadounidense, Twain fue periodista, tipógrafo, escritor y, sobre todo, un aventurero incansable. Su sed de aventuras lo llevó en un largo periplo lleno de experiencias: fue aprendiz de piloto, buscó fortuna en las minas de plata, recorrió el mundo dando conferencias y fue nombrado doctor honoris causa por la universidad de Oxford. Todo ello lo inspiró para empezar a escribir pequeños cuadernos de viaje que publicaba en la prensa. Se calcula que llegó a escribir más de 500 obras, entre las que destacan _Las aventuras de Huckelberry Finn_ y _Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer_: dos novelas en las que Twain evoca una infancia inocente y feliz, en la que brillan la ilusión y la rebeldía que preceden a la edad adulta. Mark Twain nació durante una de las apariciones del cometa Halley, y predijo que “se marcharía con él”. Efectivamente, el autor nos dejó el 21 de abril de 1910, a la estela de una nueva visita del cometa. ‍
