en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 oct 2003

An Eye for an Eye, being Victorian fiction about a woman who is strongly sexual and until pregnancy apparently unashamed of having a lover and not being married to him, took Trollope nine years to get published. Trollope wrote it from 13 September to 10 October, 1870. It was serialized from 24 August 1878 to 1 February 1879 by the Whitehall Review, and published by Chapman and Hall as a book in January 1879. When it was published it was vitriolically attacked except by those people who saw it is a poetic masterpiece.

Notă biografică

Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote novels on political, social and gender issues and other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life but he had regained the esteem of critics by the mid-20th century. Trollope began writing on the numerous long train trips around Ireland he had to take to carry out his postal duties. Setting very firm goals about how much he would write each day, he eventually became one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, occasionally dipping into the "lost-letter" box for ideas.
