In 1804, while serving as vice president, Aaron Burr fought a duel with his political nemesis, Alexander Hamilton, and killed him. In 1807, he was arrested, tried, and acquitted of treason. In 1833, Burr is newly married, an aging statesman considered a monster by many. But he is determined to tell his own story, and he chooses to confide in a young New York City journalist named Charles Schermerhorn Schuyler. Together, they explore both Burr's past—and the continuing civic drama of their young nation.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBurr\u003c\/i\u003e is the first novel in Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series, which spans the history of the United States from the Revolution to post-World War II. With their broad canvas and sprawling cast of fictional and historical characters, these novels present a panorama of American politics and imperialism, as interpreted by one of our most incisive and ironic observers.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62341387551107,"sku":"9780375708732","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780375708732.jpg?v=1786146300","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/burr-9780375708732","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
