Dr. Wortle's School de Anthony Trollope

Dr. Wortle's School

Autor Anthony Trollope
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 mai 2009
DR. WORTLE'S SCHOOL (1881) by Anthony Trollope is a story of British Victorian social mores, and the psychological exploration of propriety, love, sin, and scandal. The highly respectable institution run by Dr. Wortle suffers the stigma of impropriety in the small parish of Bowick when it is discovered that the Peacockes, an American couple hired to work at the academy, may or may not be living in a dubious state of wedlock. The kindly Wortle and the otherwise sterling Mr. and Mrs. Peacocke are faced with the defense and restoration of honor, while, in genuine Trollope fashion, other romantic entanglement subplots ensue, involving the younger set.

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.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
When Mr and Mrs Peacocke arrive as employees of Dr Wortle's school, the discovery of an irregularity in their marriage tests the character of all involved. But as Dr Wortle says, "There are things which a man cannot bear ... now and again a man shall make a stand in his own defence."
