Anthony Trollope The Way We Live Now
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 11.87 € (+2.70 €)The Way We Live Now is Anthony Trollope's radical exploration of the dangers associated with speculative capitalism, edited with an introduction and notes by Frank Kermode in Penguin Classics.\n\nAugustus Melmotte is a fraudulent foreign financier who preys on dissolute nobility - using charm to tempt the weak into making foolish investments in his dubious schemes. Persuaded to put money into a notional plot to run a railroad from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, the capricious gambler Felix Carbury soon becomes one of his victims. But as Melmotte climbs higher in society, his web of deceit - which also draws in characters as diverse as his own daughter Marie and Felix's mother, the pulp novelist Lady Carbury - begins to unravel. A radical exploration of the dangers associated with speculative capitalism, this is a fascinating satire about a society on the verge of moral bankruptcy.\n\nFrank Kermode's introduction explores the real-life inspiration for Trollope's masterly satire. This edition also includes detailed notes.\n\nAnthony Trollope (1815-82) had an unhappy childhood characterised by a stark contrast between his family's high social standing and their comparative poverty. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, but did not meet with success until the publication of the first of his 'Barsetshire novels', The Warden (1855). As well as writing over forty novels, including such popular works as Can You Forgive Her? (1865), Phineas Finn (1869), He Knew He Was Right (1869) and The Way We Live Now (1875) Trollope is credited with introducing the postbox to England.\n\nIf you enjoyed The Way We Live Now, you might like William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair, also available in Penguin Classics.\n\n'Trollope's masterpiece ... its examination of how hopes of easy money can corrupt remains relevant today' \nObserver

Anthony Trollope The Way We Live Now
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 16.15 € (+2.70 €)'Love is like any other luxury. You have no right to it unless you can afford it.'\n\nIt is impossible to be sure who Melmotte is, let alone what exactly he has done. He is, seemingly, a gentleman, and a great financier, who penetrates to the heart of the state, reaching even inside the Houses of Parliament. He draws the English establishment into his circle, including Lady Carbury, a 43 year-old coquette and her son Felix, who is persuaded to invest in a notional railway business. Huge sums of money are at stake, as well as romantic happiness.\n\nThe Way We Live Now is usually thought Trollope's major work of satire but is better described as his most substantial exploration of a form of crime fiction, where the crimes are both literal and moral. It is a text preoccupied by detection and the unmasking of swindlers. As such it is a narrative of exceptional tension: a novel of rumour, gossip, and misjudgment, where every second counts. For many of Trollope's characters, calamity and exposure are just around the corner.

Anthony Trollope Lady Anna
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 11.87 € (+2.70 €)When it appeared in 1874, Lady Anna met with little success, and positively outraged the conservative - `This is the sort of thing the reading public will never stand...a man must be embittered by some violent present exasperation who can like such disruptions of social order as this.' (Saturday Review) - although Trollope himself considered it `the best novel I ever wrote! Very much! Quite far away above all others!!!'\n\nThis tightly constructed and passionate study of enforced marriage in the world of Radical politics and social inequality, records the lifelong attempt of Countess Lovel to justify her claim to her title, and her daughter Anna's legitimacy, after her husband announces that he already has a wife. However, mother and daughter are driven apart when Anna defies her mother's wish that she marry her cousin, heir to her father's title, and falls in love with journeyman tailor and young Radical Daniel Thwaite. The outcome is never in doubt, but Trollope's ambivalence on the question is profound, and the novel both intense and powerful. \nABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Anthony Trollope He Knew He Was Right
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 13.05 € (+2.70 €)Anthony Trollope's story of one man's obsessive self-deception pitted against against the enduring power of his wife's love, He Knew He Was Right is edited with an introduction by Frank Kermode in Penguin Classics.\n\nOn a visit to the Mandarin Islands, Louis Trevelyan falls in love with Emily, the daughter of the governor, and they are swiftly married and return to live in London. But when a friend of Emily's father - the meddlesome libertine Colonel Osborne - starts paying rather too much attention to the young woman, Louis is consumed by jealousy and refuses to listen to his wife's pleas of innocence. And as his suspicions become increasingly obsessive and the marriage collapses, Louis finds himself driven to desperate actions. In He Knew He Was Right, Trollope created a highly sympathetic portrait of a deeply troubled marriage, and a compelling psychological story of sexual obsession in his portrait of a nineteenth-century Othello.\n\nIn his introduction, Frank Kermode discusses Victorian attitudes to courtship and marriage, compares the novel to Othello and places it in the context of Trollope's other works. This edition also includes a new chronology, a bibliography and notes.\n\nAnthony Trollope (1815-82) had an unhappy childhood characterised by a stark contrast between his family's high social standing and their comparative poverty.

Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 12.59 € (+2.70 €)The Penguin English Library Edition of The Warden by Anthony Trollope\n\n'It was so hard that the pleasant waters of his little stream should be disturbed and muddied ... that his quiet paths should be made a battlefield: that the unobtrusive corner of the world which been allotted to him ... made miserable and unsound'\n\nTrollope's witty, satirical story of a quiet cathedral town shaken by scandal - as the traditional values of Septimus Harding are attacked by zealous reformers and ruthless newspapers - is a drama of conscience that pits individual integrity against worldly ambition.

Anthony Trollope Orley Farm
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 15.43 € (+2.70 €)There was a power of endurance about her, and a courage that was almost awful.\n\nDid Lady Mason forge a codicil to her husband's will, allowing Orley Farm to pass to her son or not? Orley Farm centres on this case of forgery, and the anguish and guilt of Lady Mason. Surrounding this enigmatic woman and her apparent crime are her elderly lover, Sir Peregrine Orme; her principled but thoughtless son, Lucius; and, not least, a group of determined lawyers. \nOrley Farm contains the plot with which Trollope was most pleased. Drawing on family experience of the loss of an inheritance, the novel tackles the tremendous question of property fraud. The result, as George Orwell observed, is one of the most brilliant novels about a law suit in English fiction. Orley Farm dates from a confident period of its authorâs life. It breathes an air of writerly assurance, with Trollope at the height of his competitiveness with Dickens. In this work Trollope claims the Victorian legal novel as his own.

The deeply insightful portrayals of figures such as the booming Archdeacon Grantly and the beautiful Eleanor Harding are at the heart of this moving and deliciously comical tale. The Warden launched the enduringly popular Barsetshire Chronicles series of six novels and won Anthony Trollope a seat in the pantheon of great literary figures.

Anthony Trollope Can You Forgive Her?
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 15.43 € (+2.70 €)The first novel in Anthony Trollope's 'Palliser' series, Can You Forgive Her? traces the fortunes of three very different women in an exploration of whether social obligations and personal happiness can ever coincide. This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction by Stephen Wall.\n\nAlice Vavasor cannot decide whether to marry her ambitious but violent cousin George or the upright and gentlemanly John Grey - and finds herself accepting and rejecting each of them in turn. Increasingly confused about her own feelings and unable to forgive herself for such vacillation, her situation is contrasted with that of her friend Lady Glencora - forced to marry the rising politician Plantagenet Palliser in order to prevent the worthless Burgo Fitzgerald from wasting her vast fortune. In asking his readers to pardon Alice for her transgression of the Victorian moral code, Trollope created a telling and wide-ranging account of the social world of his day.\n\nIn his introduction, Stephen Wall examines Trollope's skill in depicting the strengths and weaknesses of his characters, their behaviour and inner lives. This edition also includes notes and a bibliography.\n\nAnthony Trollope (1815-82) had an unhappy childhood characterised by a stark contrast between his family's high social standing and their comparative poverty. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, but did not meet with success until the publication of the first of his 'Barsetshire novels', The Warden (1855).

Anthony Trollope Can You Forgive Her?
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 13.05 € (+2.70 €)'She loved him much, and admired him even more than she loved him...Would that he had some faults!'\n\nAlice Vavasor is torn between a risky marriage with her ambitious cousin George and the safer prospect of a union with the formidably correct John Grey. Her indecision is reflected in the dilemmas of her friend Lady Glencora, confined in the proprieties of her life with Plantagenet Palliser but tempted to escape with her penniless lover Burgo Fitzgerald, and of her aunt, the irreverent widow Mrs Greenow, who must choose between a solid farmer and an untrustworthy soldier as her next husband. Each woman finds her choice bound up with the cold realities of money, and the tension between public expectation and private inclination.\n\nCan You Forgive Her? is the first of Trollope's six Palliser novels, and its focus on the exercise of power, whether in the masculine world of parliament and the professions, or within the domesticities of friendship, courtship, and marriage, signals a new breadth and diversity of interest in his fiction. \n\nABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Anthony Trollope Due ragazze
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 13.78 € (+2.70 €)\"Non ha senso perdere la testa quando si parla di affari\". Questa frase, detta al proprio innamorato da una delle protagoniste di questo racconto - una delle \"eroine\" della piccola città di Plumplington -, riassume o meglio ancora svela l'ironico leitmotiv dell'intera vicenda narrata. Infatti, eroi e antieroi qui si assomigliano molto, e si differenziano soprattutto per i diversi ruoli sociali, che li obbligano a macchinose strategie per tentare di imporre la propria volontà. Nessuno sembra fare eccezione, neppure l'influentissimo dottor Free-born, che parteggia sì per le due ragazze che vorrebbero sposare i loro spasimanti contro la volontà dei rispettivi padri, ma che a suo tempo aveva pensato bene di dare in moglie le proprie figlie ad uomini cui non mancava alcuna delle caratteristiche di 'censo' pretese dai genitori delle due eroine - ed ora da lui giudicate assurde o persino ridicole. Tutto il racconto, insomma, si basa su una sorta di 'gioco delle parti', dove la 'parte' forse più cospicua la gioca l'epoca in cui la storia è ambientata: l'epoca di Trollope, quell'età vittoriana che prese il nome dal lungo regno della regina Vittoria (1837-1901). 'Epoca vittoriana' oggi è quasi divenuto sinonimo, sotto certi aspetti, di 'ipocrisia sociale'; il racconto di Trollope permette di penetrare più a fondo le ragioni di questa 'ipocrisia', mettendoci a contatto con una realtà sociale cristallizzata a tal punto da offrirsi come rituale cui, volenti o nolenti, nessuno si può sottrarre.

Anthony Trollope Phineas Finn
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 19.00 € (+2.70 €)Phineas Finn è unanimemente riconosciuto come uno dei lavori più felici del prolifico scrittore vittoriano.\r\n\r\n«Trollope è ai massimi del suo mestiere: è l’assoluto narrativo» - Antonio D’Orrico, Sette - Corriere della Sera\r\n\r\n«Phineas Finn credo che resti il mio eroe politico […] Visto che mi proibivano di esprimere le mie opinioni alla Camera dei Comuni, trovai quel metodo [scrivere una serie di storie semipolitiche] per dichiarare le mie idee» - Anthony Trollope, Un’autobiografia\r\n\r\nPhineas Finn è unanimemente riconosciuto come uno dei lavori più felici del prolifico scrittore vittoriano. Nel romanzo, il secondo del Ciclo Palliser, il cosiddetto ciclo politico di Trollope, l’attenzione si concentra sul giovane irlandese Phineas e sulla sua scalata al bel mondo londinese unita alla conquista di un seggio in parlamento.\r\nLa vita politica si snoda con i suoi tranelli e le sue insidie, le delusioni e i successi, tutti visti attraverso gli occhi di un neofita entusiasta quale Phineas; accanto al tema principale si impone all’attenzione l’universo femminile che circonda il protagonista. Tre dame dell’alta società divengono amiche, mentori, numi tutelari di Phineas: Lady Laura Standish, che come figlia di un politico è abituata alla vita dei parlamentari e non sembra meno esperta di loro in fatto di manovre e strategie, un’alleata preziosa per Phineas, decisa a sostenerlo e pronta ad aprire per lui molte porte. C’è poi Violet Effingham, la deliziosa e ambita ereditiera che costa all’eroe di Trollope un duello, ma che saprà anche impartirgli qualche lezione sull’amore; e infine Marie Max Goesler, ricca vedova a sua volta ansiosa di spianare il cammino di Phineas con l’aiuto di un ingente patrimonio e dell’abilità personale. \r\nLe tre donne offrono uno spaccato rivelatore della vita femminile nell’età vittoriana; si tratta sicuramente di donne privilegiate, con i vantaggi che possono conferire loro rango, ricchezza e bellezza; ma non per questo libere dalla gabbia di fitte norme e precetti che all’epoca regolavano la quotidianità con precisione ossessiva e spesso ineludibile. Trollope mostra con abilità come anche nel cuore dell’alta società londinese la condizione femminile non fosse facile e come un errore di valutazione bastasse a segnare tragicamente un destino. Con le tre belle Phineas Finn stringerà rapporti importanti capaci di cambiarlo profondamente; sullo sfondo lo attende fiduciosa Mary, la devota fidanzata irlandese.
