But it’s also a fable about history, and why, like poetry, it’s so hard to write it fast.\" -Jill Lepore, The New Yorker\nThe fully restored original text of the classic, ever-relevant story of a backcountry lawyer whose idealism is overcome by his lust for power in a story of moral complexity—American literature's definitive political novel.\nAll the King's Men traces the rise and fall of demagogue Willie Stark, a fictional Southern politician who resembles the real-life Huey Long of Louisiana. Stark begins his career as an idealistic man of the people, but he soon becomes corrupted by success and the lust for power, a gripping tale of political corruption.\nNow Warren's masterpiece has been fully restored and reintroduced by literary scholar Noel Polk, textual editor of the works of William Faulkner. Polk presents the novel as it was originally written, revealing even greater energy, excitement, and complexity.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0156004801\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0156004801.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Warren, Robert Penn\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
