Historie

Step into a world of glittering wealth, rising tensions, and bold transformation.

The Gilded Age was more than just pearls and palaces. It was a time of secret deals, daring innovation, and quiet rebellion. This captivating volume pulls back the curtain on the real stories behind the elegance, revealing the people and power struggles that shaped modern America.

Inside, you'll discover:

• How a single invention lit up cities and launched an industrial revolution • Why the nation's richest families carefully arranged marriages like business mergers • The forgotten names behind key reforms, strikes, and movements • What really happened inside America's grandest mansions and who paid the price for their luxury • The battles between press barons, railroad kings, and political machines • How women's roles shifted from social ornaments to emerging change-makers • The cultural undercurrent of art, architecture, and rising immigrant voices

This extended edition includes a special bonus feature with authentic 1890s recipes, vintage cocktails, and a curated playlist of parlor and ragtime music so you can truly step into the spirit of the age.

Whether you're fascinated by history's hidden corners or simply want to understand the forces that built the modern world, Gilded Age Revealed: Untold Stories of Opulent Mansions, Scandalous Power Plays, and Groundbreaking Inventions Unveiled in a Matter of Days offers an unforgettable journey into America's most opulent and complex era.
