Anthony Trollope Knihy

Román anglického klasika 2. poloviny 19. století je zdánlivě idylickou, humornou burleskou z anglického maloměsta. Dějově jednoduchá kronika katedrálního městečka oplývá množstvím nejrůznějších postav a těží z prosté zápletky. Město stojí před nastolením nového biskupa, který přijíždí se svou ženou a mladým kaplanem a ti více než sám biskup pomýšlejí na ovládnutí celé diecéze pro své zájmy. Síly měří ve sporu o nového kandidáta na místo správce místního chudobince a pomocí četných intrik vítězí v tomto boji biskupova manželka. Zdánlivě malicherné maloměstské spory podávají obraz jednoho z důležitých problémů viktoriánské éry-procesu zesvětštění církve, který se dotýká nejen společenského, ale i soukromého života.

Anglický spisovatel rozvíjí v prvním dílu románové ságy z viktoriánské doby příběh anglického duchovního, který v souboji s veřejným míněním, jež ho nespravedlivě nařklo z nepoctivé správy útulku pro přestárlé, odhaluje složité mezilidské vztahy a vydává počet ze svého svědomí.

Marion Fay relates two contrasting love affairs, each involving an aristocrat and a commoner! Marion Fay, a Quaker and daughter of a City clerk is being passionately pursued by the seditious Lord Hampstead, while the other romance involves the young and beautiful Clara...

Plantagenet Palliser's fragile coalition government and troubled marriage is set against the social climbing of the unscrupulous financial speculator Ferdinand Lopez, whose relationship with Emily Wharton generates misery and scandal. Part of the Palliser series, the novel is one of Trollope's most complex.

In "Miss Mackenzie" Trollope made a deliberate attempt "to prove that a novel may be produced without any love," but as he candidly admits in his "Autobiography," the attempt "breaks down before the conclusion." In taking for his heroine an middle-aged spinster, his contemporaries of writing about young girls in love. Instead he depicts Margaret Mackenzie, overwhelmed with money troubles, as she tries to assess the worth and motives of four very different suitors. Although her creator calls her "unattractive," most readers will warm to Miss Mackenzie and admire her modesty, dignity, and shrewdness.

Trollope's sextet of Barchester novels concludes with The Last Chronicle of Barchester, where the reader encounters again some of the best-loved characters from the earlier books. Crawley and his terrible dilemma when he is accused of embezzlement are at the centre of this novel.

In the second volume from Trollope's series of six `Palliser' novels, we probe deep into the life of British politics.

Fourth in the Barsetshire Chronicles, FRAMLEY PARSONAGE was published in 1860. In it the values of a Victorian gentleman, the young clergyman Mark Robarts, are put to the test. Like much fiction of 19th century England, FRAMLEY PARSONAGE concerns property, status, family and the conventions. In it Trollope captures the essence of Victorian England. The Barsetshire Chronicles include THE WARDEN, BARCHESTER TOWERS, DOCTOR THORNE, FRAMLEY PARSONAGE, THE SMALL HOUSE AT ALLINGTON and THE LAST CHRONICLE OF BARSET.

"From the towering Burmese magnificum, with its three-foot-diameter trunk and its masses of sweet-smelling purple flowers, to the potted pink azalea, glowing like a burning bush on the backyard garden patio, Rhododendron is a genus of infinite variety and beauty. There are 1,025 known species: it is a native of the snows of the Himalayas and the swamps of the Carolinas, the jungles of Borneo and the island inlets of Japan. It is also one of the oldest of plants - many believe the dove that returned to Noah's ark was carrying a rhododendron sprig - although it has been known to western horticulture for only 300 years. The curious history of Westerners and rhododendrons is full of swashbuckling plant collectors and visionary gardeners, colonial violence and ecological destruction, stunning botanical successes and bitter business disappointments. And it is here related with consummate skill by Jane Brown, an English garden writer."--BOOK JACKET.

This is Trollope's eightieth tale. Though it is the work of an older man, it is perhaps the brightest and freshest novel he ever wrote. The story of a young woman forced to choose a husband from among three unsavory men, the novel is remarkable for its wealth of minor characters and itromantic exuberance.

His novels, often serialized in St Paul's Magazine, reflect the complexities of his time and have cemented his reputation as one of the era's most respected authors.

Years later, tenant Samuel Dockwrath uncovers evidence of forgery, prompting a failed prosecution against Lady Mason, who ultimately confesses and relinquishes the estate.

The Way We Live Now is both a satire of the literary world of London in the 1870s and a bold indictment of the new power of speculative finance in English life. Trollope is described as the quintessential Victorian novelist.

Louis Trevelyan, a wealthy Englishman, falls in love with Emily Rowley in the Mandarin Islands and marries her in London.

Anthony Trollope's stock-in-trade was the life of the great drawing rooms of mid-Victorian England, where the thirst for wealth and political power and the need for love continually formed and reformed in unexpected, illuminating combinations. Can You Forgive Her?, the story of Alice Vavasor, her conundrums in love, and her confusions about the rights and duties of a modern, is the first novel in his magnificent Palliser series; it is energized on every page by the affectionate and ironicdelight Trollope felt in observing the entanglements of his splendid characters.

Nina Balatka was a maiden of Prague born of Christian parents and herself a Christian-but she loved a Jew; and this is her story.

Arabella Trefoil, the beautiful anti-heroine of this novel, inspired Trollope to write of her, "I wished to express the depth of my scorn for women who run down husbands." Arabella's determination to find a rich husband is at the heart of this story and her character, though often maligned, isone of Trollope's most famous and vivid creations.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1863.

The Landleaguers, Trollope's last novel, is set in Ireland during the Land War of the early 1880s. It is both a documentary record, closely following events in Westminster and the Irish countryside, and a meditative fantasy. Mary Hamer's introduction provides an historically-based reading of the subplot and relates it to Trollope's own personal stake in the crisis between England and Ireland.

Trollope's most "subversive" novel, this is a wide-ranging condemnation of group morals, collective prejudice and the devastating power that conventional values have upon well intentioned individuals.

Set on the fictional island of Britannula, the narrative explores a controversial societal practice where citizens must retire and face death at 67 to prevent overcrowding. President John Neverbend champions this 'Fixed Period,' believing it addresses pressing societal issues. However, as his friend Gabriel Crasweller approaches his 67th birthday, Neverbend's convictions are challenged. The novel delves into themes of aging, government control, and the ethics of euthanasia, using satire to critique the political and social norms of Trollope's time.

The story is set in Ireland, 1845-7, the famine years. "...[T]he story of the Fitzgeralds and their fight to survive a threat to possession of their family home, Castle Richmond. When Sir Thomas is blackmailed by the unscrupulous Mollets, his son, Herbert, is threatened with disinheritance; meanwhile both Herbert and his dashing cousin Owen compete for the hand of Clara Desmond, whose mother would secretly like Owen for herself. At the same time, Trollope's srupulous accuracy in recording prices, earnings, dates, and topography creates a disturbing pictue of the lives of the labouring Irish poor both before and during the famine." -- Cover, page [4]

The Kellys and the O'Kellys is Trollope's second novel, drawing on his first- hand experience travelling and working in Ireland.

The narrative follows Mrs. Brown through a series of significant events that shape her journey. Initially, she experiences success, but soon faces challenges leading to her failure. In her quest for freedom, Mrs. Brown makes attempts to escape her circumstances, ultimately succeeding. The story culminates with her arrival at Thompson Hall, where new adventures await. Each chapter highlights her resilience and determination in navigating life's ups and downs.

Always a keen traveler, Anthony Trollope toured South Africa in 1877 and provides a fascinating account of his travels around a still untamed land at a time when British rule was being challenged by the native peoples. Trollope relates an insightful history of the first Dutch and then British colonial rule imposed over the native peoples, as well as vivid descriptions of the people, the architecture, the landscape and the sights and sounds of late 19th-century South Africa. It is in his dealings with the natives that Trollope is at his most fascinating and unusually perceptive. His own views reflect the common opinion of the day that colonial rule could only improve their lives, but at the same time gives an insight into the negative effects of colonialism on the natives and the grievances it created. South Africa is an unrivalled account of the land and all its people by a master writer, and is a fascinating description of a small but vital part of the British Empire during its prime.

Erstmals auf Deutsch! In Anthony Trollopes Familienroman wird die Bedeutung von Geld in der Ehe thematisiert. Julia heiratet einen wohlhabenden Adligen, während ihr Herz Harry Clavering gehört, der arm ist. Nach Julias unglücklicher Ehe taucht sie als reiche Witwe wieder auf, was zu unerwarteten Konflikten führt. Trollope zeichnet ein humorvolles, tiefgründiges Porträt seiner Charaktere.

Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) ist ein bedeutender, aber in Deutschland wenig bekannter englischer Schriftsteller des 19. Jahrhunderts. Mit 45 Romanen und zahlreichen Kurzgeschichten behandelt er vielfältige Themen, oft mit einem Fokus auf Frauen. 'Kept In The Dark' thematisiert Vorurteile, Stolz und die Enge der Kleinstadt, mit einem Sieg der Liebe.

Harry Clavering ist vielleicht der erste wohlgeborene viktorianische Held, der sich für eine Karriere im Bauingenieurwesen entscheidet; er möchte die Welt mit Eisenbahnen und Brücken verändern. Julia Brabazon, seine erste Liebe, verlässt ihn für einen wohlhabenden, zerstreuten und decrepiten Adligen. Zwei Jahre später taucht sie als reiche junge Witwe wieder auf und zwingt Harry, zwischen den Annehmlichkeiten einer wohlhabenden Frau und dem ehrenhaften Weg, seine Verlobte Florence Burton zu heiraten und seiner erklärten Karriere nachzugehen, zu wählen. Seine Gewissenskonflikte stehen in starkem Kontrast zur emotionalen Stärke der beiden Frauen. Trollope zeigt meisterhaft Realismus und viktorianisches moralisches Empfinden, während er die Qualen der Entscheidungsfindung in Beruf und Ehe darstellt. Seit seinem ersten Erscheinen im Jahr 1867 wird dieser Roman als eine der erfolgreichsten Darstellungen des mittleren viktorianischen Lebens von Trollope gefeiert. Die Claverings ist reich an zeitgenössischen Details und zeigt, wie oft bei Trollope, die Schwäche der Männer und die emotionale Stärke der Frauen.

Eine unterhaltsame Weihnachtsgeschichte von Anthony Trollope, in der Isabel Lownd und Maurice Archer, beide unsterblich ineinander verliebt, mit Missverständnissen und einer verletzten Gefühlslage zu kämpfen haben. Wird Isabel Maurice seinen unbedachten Kommentar über Weihnachten verzeihen?

Frankreich 1791: der junge Adolphe Denot hat sich in Agatha Larochejaquelin verliebt, die Tochter eines betagten Adeligen aus der Provinz. Obwohl sie freundschaftliche Gefühle für den Verehrer hegt, kann sie diese Liebe nicht erwidern. Für Denot eine unerträgliche Demütigung. Seine Liebe, die von berechnenden Momenten nie frei war, nimmt die Form einer Besessenheit an. Durch heroische Taten hofft er Agatha doch noch für sich einzunehmen. Die Bedingungen dafür scheinen günstig: In den Provinzen führen Bauern und Adelige einen verzweifelten Kampf zur Rettung des Königtums. Als chronist und Romancier des Viktorianischen Zeitalters erlagnte Anthony Trollope dauerhaften Weltruhm. In "Eine Liebe in Frankreich", seinem einzigen historischen Roman, stellt er am Beispiel mehrer Liebesbeziehungen exemplarisch dar, wie die Menschen in Krisenzeiten zerbrechen - oder über sich hinauswachsen

Septimus Harding, un homme doux et timide, aimé et respecté, et qui paraît incarner à lui seul toutes les qualités humaines et les vertus chrétiennes, se voit accusé d'enrichissement personnel illégal : de sa fonction de directeur d'hospice de charité il aurait fait une confortable sinécure. Quand John Bold, réformateur trop zélé, utilise la presse nationale pour l'attaquer, c'est un coup de tonnerre qui retentit dans le petit monde feutré du clergé attaché à la cathédrale de Barchester (inspirée de celle de Salisbury). Pourtant, la définition nette du bien et du mal, du coupable et de l'innocent, sera rapidement ébranlée dans ce combat qui oppose médias assoiffés de scandale et conscience morale solitaire. Premier roman de la série des "Chroniques du Barset", Le Directeur contient déjà tout ce qui fera de Trollope l'un des auteurs victoriens les plus populaires : une véritable intuition psychologique des relations de pouvoir, une écriture alerte, et une plume ironique, capable de satire parfois féroce mais aussi de tolérance amusée.
