The Art of Folly is a satirical novel written by Sheridan Ford and published in 1895. The book is a humorous commentary on the social and political issues of the time, and is set in New York City during the Gilded Age. The story revolves around the character of Tom Travers, a young man who is determined to make a name for himself in society by any means necessary. Tom is a charming and ambitious individual who is willing to do whatever it takes to climb the social ladder, even if it means engaging in deceit and manipulation. As the story unfolds, Tom's schemes become increasingly elaborate and dangerous, and he finds himself in over his head. The book is a sharp critique of the greed and corruption that characterized the era, and is a witty and entertaining read for anyone interested in the history of American society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
