Description

New Haven & London: Yale University Press, 2003. 1st. h/b. Fine, 1st edition (1st printing), signed to title, unclipped d/j (in protective sleeve), blue clothbound boards, gilt spine titling bright; text block firm, untrimmed pages crisp and unmarked.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Gore Vidal, one of the master stylists of American literature and an acute observer of American life and history, turns his literary and historiographic talent to a portrait of the formidable trio of George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. In ""Inventing a Nation"", Vidal transports the reader into the minds, the living rooms (and bedrooms), the convention halls and the salons of Washington, Jefferson, Adams and others. We come to know these men, their opinions of each other, their worries about money and their concerns about creating a viable democracy.
