Here is an extraordinary portrait of one of the most complicated—and misunderstood—figures among the Founding Fathers. In 1804 while serving as vice president Aaron Burr fought a duel with his political nemesis Alexander Hamilton and killed him. In 1807 he was arrested tried and acquitted of treason. In 1833 Burr is newly married an aging statesman considered a monster by many. But he is determined to tell his own story and he chooses to confide in a young New York City journalist named Charles Schermerhorn Schuyler. Together they explore both Burr's past—and the continuing civic drama of their young nation. Burr is the first novel in Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series which spans the history of the United States from the Revolution to post-World War II. With their broad canvas and sprawling cast of fictional and historical characters these novels present a panorama of American politics and imperialism as interpreted by one of our most incisive and ironic observers.

Always absorbing" The New Yorker. Random House hardcover

The recipient Katherine “Kit” Vidal was Eugene Vidal’s second wife; he married her in 1939 when she was a 20 year old model with the Powers Agency only six years older than Gore. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. A nice association. Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series spans the history of the United States from the Revolution to the post-World War II years. With their broad canvas and large cast of fictional and historical characters the novels in this series present a panorama of the American political and imperial experience as interpreted by one of its most worldly knowing and ironic observers. The centennial of the United States was celebrated with great fanfare--fireworks exhibitions pious calls to patriotism and perhaps the most underhanded political machination in the country's history: the theft of the presidency from Samuel Tilden in favor of Rutherford B. Hayes. This was the Gilded Age when robber barons held the purse strings of the nation and the party in power was determined to stay in power. Gore Vidal's 1876 gives us the news of the day through the eyes of Charlie Schuyler who has returned from exile to regain a lost fortune and arrange a marriage into New York society for his widowed daughter. And although Tammany Hall has faltered and Boss Tweed has fled the effects of corruption reach deep even into Schuyler's own family. "Vidal writes so well that you find yourself holding your breath over something that is a foregone conclusion. . . . Vidal's talent makes the bloated characters of Washington live in a way history books don't" The Boston Globe. Random House hardcover
