Beskrivelse af Inebriety And The Candidate
Inebriety And The Candidate is a book written by George Crabbe. The book is a satire on the political system and the corrupt practices that were prevalent during the 18th century. The story revolves around an election in a small town and the various candidates who are vying for the position of Member of Parliament. The central character of the book is a candidate who is an alcoholic and is constantly drunk. The book portrays the candidate's struggles with his addiction and the various ways in which he tries to hide it from the public. The book also highlights the corrupt practices that are prevalent in politics, such as bribery and manipulation of the voting system. The book is a scathing critique of the political system and the moral decay that was prevalent during the 18th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of politics and the social issues of the time.Intoxication flies, as fury fled, On rooky pinions quits the aching head; Returning reason cools the fiery blood, And drives from memory's seat the rosy god. Yet still he holds o'er some his maddening rule. Still sways his sceptre, and still knows his fool; Witness the livid lip, and fiery front.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
