Description
1876
Author: Gore Vidal
Hard cover - fair condition (ex-library). First edition.
1876 by Gore Vidal is a richly detailed historical novel that vividly captures the political intrigue, social tensions, and cultural atmosphere of post-Civil War America during the centennial year. Narrated by Charles Schuyler, a wry and observant expatriate journalist returning to the United States with his daughter Emma, the novel follows their efforts to reestablish themselves in New York society amid a backdrop of scandal, ambition, and a fiercely contested presidential election. With his signature wit and incisive prose, Vidal weaves real historical figures and events—particularly the disputed Hayes-Tilden election—into a compelling narrative that explores corruption, power, and the fragility of democracy. 1876 is both a captivating story and a sharp commentary on American political life.
