Description
Set in the early twentieth century, Ragtime is a rich and vibrant novel that brings to life the events that shaped America's history. E.L. Doctorow masterfully weaves together fictional characters and real-life figures to create a dazzling literary mosaic. In this stunning chronicle, three remarkable families - one black, one Jewish, and one prosperous WASP - intersect with historical figures such as Harry Houdini, J. P. Morgan, and Emma Goldman. Against the backdrop of poverty, wealth, and change, Doctorow explores the complexities of an era defined by the rhythms of ragtime. With its perfect blend of realism and originality, Ragtime is a novel that will hold you from beginning to end.
