Doctor Thorne de Ed Trollope, Anthony

Doctor Thorne: Everyman's Library Classics & Contemporary Classics, cartea

Ed Trollope, Anthony

N. John Hall

The plot of Doctor Thorne (1858), the third novel in Anthony Trollope's Barsetshire series, is set in motion by a seduction, a murder, and an illegitimate birth, and carried forward in an intense struggle for privilege and position. That these potentially melodramatic elements never disturb Trollope's richly woven, classically balanced tapestry of provincial life is a continuing testament to his handsome, civil, endlessly entertaining art.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

A fine country house set in rolling acres, a handsome young master and his beautiful sweetheart. A timeless, idyllic English scene. Yet something is wrong with this perfect picture. With all its pleasing vistas, Frank Gresham's vast estate is a landscape of debt, every last piece mortgaged by a feckless father. And the only birthright of Mary Thorne, the beloved niece of the village's respected doctor, is the stigma of illegitimacy.

Notă biografică

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was born in London to a bankrupt barrister father and a mother who, as a well-known writer, supported the family. Trollope enjoyed considerable acclaim both as a novelist and as a senior civil servant in the Post Office. He published more than forty novels and many short stories that are regarded by some as among the greatest of nineteenth-century fiction.
