Framley Parsonage de Anthony Trollope

Framley Parsonage

Autor Anthony Trollope Fotograf Michael Dahl
en Limba Engleză Paperback

Prima imagine pe care ne-o oferă naratorul este cea a unui tânăr binecuvântat de soartă: Mark Robarts, părăsind băncile facultății sub privirile admirative ale unei societăți care îi prevestește un viitor strălucit. Fiul unui medic din Exeter, Mark pare să fi colectat toate „lucrurile bune” pe care hazardul și conduita impecabilă le pot oferi, de la prietenia strânsă cu tânărul Lord Lufton până la protecția maternă a Lady Lufton. Suntem de părere că această deschidere aparent idilică pregătește terenul pentru o explorare subtilă a compromisului moral, specifică stilului contemplativ al lui Anthony Trollope.

În Framley Parsonage, autorul ne invită să urmărim cum ambiția unui tânăr vicar de a pătrunde în înalta societate a comitatului Barsetshire devine o cursă a datoriilor și a loialităților divizate. Cei care au parcurs Barchester Towers de Anthony Trollope vor fi pregătiți pentru aceleași intrigi clericale și sociale, însă aici tonul devine mai introspectiv, punând accent pe greutatea responsabilității personale. Spre deosebire de satira tăioasă din The Way We Live Now, unde corupția este sistemică și brutală, în acest al patrulea volum din The Chronicles of Barsetshire, Trollope analizează cu blândețe, dar și cu o precizie chirurgicală, felul în care dorința de acceptare poate eroda caracterul unui om altfel onest.

Considerăm că această ediție critică de la Oxford University Press oferă un context esențial, legând dificultățile financiare ale lui Robarts de dezbaterile victoriene despre proprietate. Este o lectură care curge cu eleganța unei conversații de salon, dar care lasă în urmă întrebări profunde despre prețul succesului social.

Despre autor

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) a fost unul dintre cei mai prolifici și respectați romancieri ai epocii victoriene, cunoscut pentru capacitatea sa de a transforma viața cotidiană în literatură de înaltă clasă. Funcționar public de carieră, el a scris mare parte din opera sa în timpul călătoriilor cu serviciul poștal. Celebritatea sa se datorează în principal seriei The Chronicles of Barsetshire, care a creat un comitat imaginar devenit reper în literatura engleză. Deși reputația sa a oscilat spre finalul vieții, Trollope este astăzi considerat un maestru al realismului, influențând structurile narative moderne prin complexitatea personajelor sale.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'The fact is, Mark, that you and I cannot conceive the depth of fraud in such a man as that.'The Reverend Mark Robarts makes a mistake. Drawn into a social set at odds with his clerical responsibilities, he guarantees the debts of an unscrupulous Member of Parliament. He stands to lose his reputation, and his family, future, and home are all in peril. His patroness, the proud and demanding Lady Lufton, is offended and the romantic hopes of Mark's sister Lucy, courted by Lady Lufton's son, are in jeopardy. Pride and ambition are set against love and integrity in a novel that has remained one of Trollope's most popular stories.Set against ecclesiastical events in the Barchester diocese and informed by British political instability after the Crimean War, Trollope's fourth Barchester novel was his first major success. A compelling history of uncertain futures, Framley Parsonage is a vivid exploration of emotional and geographical displacement that grew out of Trollope's own experiences as he returned to England from Ireland in 1859.

Recenzii

Convincingly argues that its narrative of "precarious livings and tenancy" displaces to Barsetshire topical concerns about land ownership and occupation in Ireland.

Descriere scurtă

Anthony Trollope, (born April 24, 1815, London, Eng.--died Dec. 6, 1882, London), English novelist whose popular success concealed until long after his death the nature and extent of his literary merit. A series of books set in the imaginary English county of Barsetshire remains his best loved and most famous work, but he also wrote convincing novels of political life as well as studies that show great psychological penetration. One of his greatest strengths was a steady, consistent vision of the social structures of Victorian England, which he re-created in his books with unusual solidity.
Trollope grew up as the son of a sometime scholar, barrister, and failed gentleman farmer. He was unhappy at the great public schools of Winchester and Harrow. Adolescent awkwardness continued until well into his 20s. The years 1834-41 he spent miserably as a junior clerk in the General Post Office, but he was then transferred as a postal surveyor to Ireland, where he began to enjoy a social life. In 1844 he married Rose Heseltine, an Englishwoman, and set up house at Clonmel, in Tipperary. He then embarked upon a literary career that leaves a dominant impression of immense energy and versatility.
The Warden (1855) was his first novel of distinction, a penetrating study of the warden of an old people's home who is attacked for making too much profit from a charitable sinecure. During the next 12 years Trollope produced five other books set, like The Warden, in Barsetshire: Barchester Towers (1857), Doctor Thorne (1858), Framley Parsonage (1861), The Small House at Allington (1864), and The Last Chronicle of Barset (serially 1866-67; 1867). Barchester Towers is the funniest of the series; Doctor Thorne perhaps the best picture of a social system based on birth and the ownership of land; and The Last Chronicle, with its story of the sufferings of the scholarly Mr. Crawley, an underpaid curate of a poor parish, the most pathetic.
The Barsetshire novels excel in memorable characters, and they exude the atmosphere of the cathedral community and of the landed aristocracy. (britannica.com)
