A sharp, fearless lamp held up to an age of pretence. A century on, the satire still rings true. A Century Of Wrong is a classic public domain novel that blends historical satire fiction with a clear-eyed critique of social hypocrisy. Set in the early twentieth century, its interwoven stories map human folly and moral reform with wit, warmth, and a touch of irony that lingers long after the last line. This is more than a novel; it is a humane examination of how public and private masks shape the lives we live, and the consequences that follow when we forget the common good. Alpha Editions presents a restored edition that honours the original voice while making it vivid for today's readers. The work sits comfortably within college reading lists and study guides as a compelling example of american social commentary, a piece for the public domain anthology that invites discussion, reflection, and comparison with other era works. Its themes-societal pretence, the cost of hypocrisy, and the restless search for virtue-remain accessible to casual readers and resonant for serious collectors of classic literature alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. It is kept alive for today's and future generations, a cornerstone of the public domain heritage that continues to educate, entertain, and inspire.
