Zusammenfassung

The Curious Republic of Gondour:

As soon as I had learned to speak the language a little, I became greatly interested in the people and the system of government.

The nation had initially tried universal suffrage, but the result was unsatisfactory. It seemed to deliver all power into the hands of the ignorant and non-tax-paying classes.

A remedy was sought, and an ingenious idea emerged: not to destroy universal suffrage but to enlarge it selectively.

An amendatory clause was inserted, allowing the suffrage to be enlarged in certain cases specified by statute.

Property, character, and intellect wielded political influence for the first time, and the best men in the nation became candidates for parliament.

Money, virtue, and intelligence united to shape the political landscape .

Other Whimsical Sketches:

The collection also includes various other sketches, each with its own twist of humor, satire, or imaginative exploration.

From memories and reminiscences to royal compliments and wild interviews, Twain's wit shines through .

The Curious Republic of Gondour and Other Whimsical Sketches invites readers to step into a world where absurdity meets astute observation. Whether you seek political commentary or flights of fancy, Twain's pen weaves a delightful tapestry of imagination and wit "
