The American Senator

Více o knize

The American Senator is a satirical novel about American politics and society during the nineteenth century. The story follows the adventures of Senator Elias Gotobed, a well-meaning but woefully ignorant politician from a rural backwater who is thrust into the cutthroat world of Washington politics. Along the way, he encounters a host of colorful characters, from scheming lobbyists to disgruntled constituents, and learns valuable lessons about the nature of power and corruption. Trollope's incisive wit and keen observations make this a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American politics.
