Democracy is a political novel written by James Platt and published in 1888. The story revolves around the character of Richard Carter, a wealthy businessman who decides to run for Congress as a Democrat. The novel explores the corrupt nature of American politics during the Gilded Age, where money and power were the driving forces behind political decisions. Platt’s novel is a critique of the political system of the time and an examination of the struggle between democracy and oligarchy. The book is considered a classic of American literature and a significant contribution to the political novel genre. It provides a fascinating insight into the political landscape of the late 19th century and the challenges faced by those who sought to bring change to the system. Overall, Democracy is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
