This seminal novel depicts the rise and fall of a powerful politician. It is a semi-documentary account of the rise and fall of a powerful politician, based on the reality of the southern United States during the 1930s. It tells the story of a demagogic politician who charms and deceives the public with promises and eloquent speeches, while in reality, he places everything at the service of his own personal interests and narrow self-interest.
The author brilliantly sheds light on the inner character of the dictatorial politician, convincing us, in one way or another, that any of us, no matter how intelligent, can fall under the spell of one of them. The novel has garnered widespread artistic and popular attention, has been printed and translated hundreds of times since its publication and Pulitzer Prize-winning debut. It has since been adapted into two critically acclaimed films, both of which are now available through Al-Rafidain.
