Description: 1876 (Modern Library) Author: Vidal, Gore Title: 1876 (Modern Library) Publication: Modern Library, October 1998 Description: Cloth. Very Good / Very Good. The third volume of Gore Vidal's series of historical novels aimed at demythologizing the American past, 1876 chronicles the political scandals and dark intrigues that rocked the United States in its centennial year. Charles Schermerhorn Schuyler, Aaron Burr's unacknowledged son, returns to a flamboyant America after his long, self-imposed European exile. The narrator of Burr has come home to recoup a lost fortune by arranging a suitable marriage for his beautiful daughter, the widowed Princess d'Agrigente, and by ingratiating himself with Samuel Tilden, the favored presidential candidate in the centennial year. With these ambitions and with their own abundant charms, Schuyler and his daughter soon find themselves at the centers of American social and political power at a time when the fading ideals of the young republic were being replaced by the excitement of empire. Bound in heavy grey cloth lettered in gold along the spine. Mylar wrapped. Seller ID: 326887 Subject: Fiction & Literature Atlanta's only in-town, full-service bookstore since 1989.
