"The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today" is a satirical novel co-authored by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, published in 1873. Set against the backdrop of post-Civil War America, the novel explores the excesses and corruption of the era, particularly focusing on the rise of industrialization, materialism, and political graft. Through a cast of colorful characters, including the scheming Hawkins family and the idealistic protagonist, Philip Sterling, Twain and Warner paint a vivid portrait of American society grappling with rapid social and economic change. The novel satirizes various aspects of American life, from the ruthless pursuit of wealth to the hypocrisy of political and social elites. With its sharp wit and keen social commentary, "The Gilded Age" remains a timeless critique of the darker side of the American Dream and the pursuit of prosperity at any cost.
