The Golden Age: A Satire is a novel written by Alfred Austin in 1871. The book is a satirical take on the Victorian era and the society of the time. The story is set in a fictional country called Babylon and follows the lives of the ruling class, who are obsessed with wealth and power. The protagonist of the novel is a young man named Gerald who is disillusioned with the society he lives in and wants to change it. He becomes involved with a group of rebels who want to overthrow the ruling class and create a more just society. The novel is a critique of the materialism and greed of the Victorian era and the societal norms that allowed it to thrive. The Golden Age: A Satire is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that provides a window into the social and political issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
