Review:
"[One] of the most perceptive books ever written about Washington." --Maureen Dowd, The New York Times "An entertaining tale of manners and an important meditation on democracy and its discontents--a narrative about politics that resonates even now, nearly 140 years after its first appearance." --Jon Meacham, The New York Times Book Review
Synopsis:
An instant bestseller when first published in 1880, "Democracy" is the quintessential American political novel. At its heart is Madeleine Lee, a young widow who comes to Washington, D.C., to understand the workings of power. Pursued by Silas Ratcliffe, the most influential member of the Senate, Madeleine soon sees enough of power and its corrupting influence to last her a lifetime.
