The Curious Republic of Gondour
Mark Twain
"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.
