LibriVox recording of THE GILDED AGE, A TALE OF TODAY, by MARK TWAIN & CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER. Read by JOHN GREENMAN.
Originally published in 1873, The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today is the only novel Twain co-wrote (C.D. Warner was a good friend and neighbor of the Clemens family in Hartford, and the collaboration sprang from their wive's challenge and encouragement). The title, "The Gilded Age" became synonymous with graft, materialism and corruption in public life, which are well represented in this work. Like others of his works, this one reflects truths about American Society that remain pertinent today. Many of the characters and incidents that occur in the Gilded Age had their real-life origins in Clemens relatives and history, a fact which he revealed in his newly published (2011) Autobiography. (Introduction by John Greenman & Wikipedia)

Subject: Well done!
Subject: Well done!
I started listening to the other recording but it was boring. It almost sounded like a machine reading. This one is much better, more expressive.
