Description

The Gilded Age by Mark Twain is set in the consulting rooms of Dr Orion Hood, a criminologist with a unique approach to understanding moral disorders. Located along the sea-front at Scarborough, these chambers are notable for their tidiness and luxury, which coexist in an atmosphere of restraint. A special table in the room holds a selection of fine cigars, spirits, and English classics, arranged to create a sense of balance and harmony. This unusual blend of comfort and discipline is a hallmark of Dr Hood's approach to his work. This edition of The Gilded Age features 596 pages in hardcover, offering readers a comprehensive look at the author's exploration of human nature and society during this period.
