Omschrijving

Mr. Clutterbuck's Election is a satirical novel written by Hilaire Belloc in 1908. The story revolves around the election of Mr. Clutterbuck, a wealthy and influential businessman, to the position of Member of Parliament in a small English town. The novel is a scathing critique of the corrupt and self-serving nature of British politics at the time.The plot follows the efforts of Mr. Clutterbuck and his supporters to win the election through a combination of bribery, intimidation, and manipulation. As the campaign progresses, the novel exposes the hypocrisy and greed of the political class, as well as the gullibility and apathy of the electorate.Belloc's writing is characterized by his wit and his keen eye for detail. He uses a range of literary devices, including irony, satire, and parody, to skewer the political establishment and to highlight the absurdity of the election process.Overall, Mr. Clutterbuck's Election is a humorous and insightful commentary on the state of British politics in the early 20th century. It remains a classic of political satire and a testament to Belloc's skill as a writer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
