Description
Tono-Bungay is a satirical novel that explores the power of advertising and the modern press. When George Ponderevo's uncle employs him to market a miraculous cure-all, he finds his life overwhelmed by its sudden success. As society becomes convinced of the merits of Tono-Bungay through skilled advertising and public credulity, George discovers that there is more to class in England than mere wealth. This edition includes a newly established text, a full biographical essay on the author, and detailed notes. The introduction provides insight into the ways in which Wells satirizes the fictions and delusions that shape modern life.
