We are all looking at Napoleons. For the first time in Russian in full and a completely new translation, the novel-era Phineas Finn is published, one of the main masterpieces of Anthony Trollope, a writer who at one time was greatly admired by Leo Tolstoy. That gave rise to literary critics to name “Phyneas” among the possible candidates for the role of “mysterious” English novel, which was read by Anna Karenina during a trip from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
Phineas Finn is the story of a provincial pamper of fate and women, the “Irish Rastignac”, who dreams of conquering England and revealing the world like an oyster. From the cold play of the mind and the bonfires of vanity, this story with each chapter is gaining strength, turns into a fire of the soul and impatience of the heart, the heroes are more and more truly "hurried to live and feel in a hurry" - a calculating stile-chaz up the career ladder leading down, then and then unpredictable meetings and partings, gains and losses, duels and hunting foxes are replaced.
The novel is part of a large series of “Chronicles of the Palliser”, a kind of “human comedy” of Victorian life. This edition contains additional comments of the translator, explaining many secrets of the novel and features of the time. The book is decorated with a complete set of original illustrations by Sir John Everett Millais, an outstanding English painter and graphic artist.
