      In the Wilderness
    • "Pozlacený věk" má v tvorbě klasického mistra americké satiry Marka Twaina zvláštní místo. Není to Twainova práce samostatná: tento román napsal ve spolupráci s přítelem Charlesem Dudleym Warnerem a snad i na jeho námět. Látka sama však ho tak zaujala, že kniha, zejména v pasážích sžíravé persiflujících "politický život" Washingtonu, nese neomylnou pečeť geniálního satirika. V Rámci pestrého děje, v němž se do paměti čtenáře zejména vryjí rázovité twainovské postavy, jako je např. bodrý tlučhuba "plukovník" Sellers nebo cynický politický hochštapler senátor Dilworthy, je zachyceno údobí po válce Severu proti Jihu, kdy padly poslední překážky kapitalistické "podnikavosti", a korupce, velkorysé podvody, kuloárové pikle a bezohledné okrádání státu se rozmohlo měrou do té doby netušenou. Román, který byl také s úspěchem dramatizován, byl ve své době tak populární, ž ejeho titul se vžil jako označení celé poválečné epochy. Čtenář bez potíží pozná, že mnohé z nepravostí, které v díle Twain zkarikoval a odsoudil, existují v americkém politickém životě dodnes,i když se snad halí do rafinovanějších roušek, než bylo křiklavé pozlátko svatouškovských frází z druhé poloviny devatenáctého století.
