The Awakening: A Novel of Washington Life by Charles Wickliffe Yulee is a fictional story set in the political world of Washington D.C. The novel follows the life of a young woman named Evelyn Byrd, who is the daughter of a prominent senator. As she navigates the social scene of the city, she becomes disillusioned with the political corruption and the shallow nature of the people around her. Evelyn begins to question her own beliefs and values, and she starts to feel a sense of detachment from her privileged lifestyle. She meets a young journalist named John Beverley, who shares her disillusionment and becomes her confidante. Together, they embark on a journey of self-discovery and try to find meaning in their lives beyond the superficiality of Washington society.Throughout the novel, Yulee provides a scathing critique of the political culture of Washington D.C. and the people who inhabit it. He portrays a world where power and influence are valued above all else, and where moral integrity is often sacrificed for personal gain. The Awakening is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that explores themes of disillusionment, morality, and the search for personal identity. It offers a unique perspective on the political world of Washington D.C., and it is sure to captivate readers who are interested in politics, social commentary, and character-driven stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
