The Barsetshire Chronicles. Book 4. Allington Minor House
19.99 €
Anthony Trollope is a British classic whose modern popularity in the English-speaking world can be compared only to that of Jane Austen ("Trollope kills me with his mastery," Leo Tolstoy wrote in his diary), and The Barsetshire Chronicles are deservedly considered one of his greatest achievements.
"Allington Little House" is the fifth book of the Chronicles. It features two heroines, the daughters of a poor widow—one sensible, the other sensitive. Sounds a bit like Jane Austen's novel? Well, the resemblance is no coincidence. However, by the author's own admission, there is no hero in the book; rather, that role is divided among several young men, all more or less heroic. In one of them, the awkward, dreamy youth Johnny Eames, Trollope recreated himself from the time when he worked as a minor clerk in the civil service and was considered a complete idiot by everyone. Allington is quite far from Barchester, and characters from the other Chronicles appear infrequently in the novel, but the reader will see several familiar characters. Furthermore, Plantagenet Palliser, the hero of another famous Trollope series, appears here for the first time.
The novel is published with a full set of classic illustrations by the renowned Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais, which accompanied the first edition of Allington Little House in Cornhill Magazine.
