Gore Vidal portrays the transition from the 19th to the 20th century, when the United States abandons the Lincolnian republic to become a world empire. Through Caroline Sanford, a New York journalist, the plot follows her struggle with the magnate William Randolph Hearst and interweaves it with presidents and great families of the era.
Fourth instalment of the Narratives of Empire series and part of the Narrativas Históricas collection, with translation by Ángela Pérez and J.M. Álvarez Flórez.
A read for those who enjoy historical fiction and American politics at the turn of the century.
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his cynical epigrammatic wit. His novels and essays criticized the social and sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. Vidal was heavily involved in politics, and unsuccessfully sought office twice as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the United States House of Representatives, and later in 1982 to the United States Senate.
