About this Product
"I found that the nation had at first tried universal suffrage pure and simple, but had thrown that form aside because the result was not satisfactory."
-The Curious Republic of Gondour (1870)
The Curious Republic of Gondour and Other Whimsical Sketches (1906) is a collection of short stories and sketches written by Mark Twain in 1870-1871 for The Galaxy and The Buffalo Express, published posthumously in 1919.
The title story is the most famous and about a state in which all citizens have at least one vote, but where further votes could be acquired through education or by wealth. Other stories include A Reminiscence of the Back Settlements, The Approaching Epidemic, The European War, and many others.
This replica of the 1919 edition is pure Twain and an enjoyable read.
