Despite the author's European inspirations, it is a distinctively American book, not just because of its homespun, native characters and slapstick humor, but also because it is a narrative of journeying and questing. As it follows Captain Farrago and his sidekick on their travels, the book's premise becomes clear—that democracy as practiced in America is valuable and worthy, but that it is subject to malfunctions when tinkered with by unfit men. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA pointed caricature of American life, \u003ci\u003eModern Chivalry\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great value to all interested in American history and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256499622232,"sku":"9780742534032","price":62.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780742534032.jpg?v=1769702446","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/modern-chivalry","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
