Produktbeschreibung
This book's French-themed plot centers on the romance between an innkeeper's son and his essentially adopted niece. The characters are a little lower class than customary for Trollope, and the foreign environment is intriguing, which makes the tale entertaining. It has a lovely, ideal, joyful conclusion. In this book, Trollope focuses his keen eye on the lives of French and French-speaking Swiss tradespeople in a region of France that borders Switzerland rather than on English high society. Unsurprisingly, the plot revolves around a love story, which gives Trollope the opportunity to examine French customs and beliefs regarding marriage and dowries. This book explores the foolishness of those who presume to understand the thoughts of others. When Trollope's fame was at its height, he wrote The Golden Lion of Granpere. This brief but enjoyable book is about Marie Bromar, who after the passing of her mother moves in with the Voss family at the Lion d'Or hotel. It is set in a town in the Vosges mountains in northeastern France. She falls in love with George Voss over a period of years, but George's father Michel bans them from getting married.
Autorenporträt
Renowned for his Chronicles of Barsetshire series and the Palliser novels, Anthony Trollope was a prolific and renowned English novelist. Trollope was born into a middle-class household, but his early years were characterized by chaotic family dynamics and financial hardships. In spite of these obstacles, he succeeded in his career as a civil servant in the British Post Office, where he spent more than thirty years. Published in 1847, Trollope's debut book, "The Macdermots of Ballycloran," marked the beginning of his writing career. He proceeded to produce travelogues, non-fiction books, short stories, and 47 novels during his lifetime. The richly detailed portrayal of Victorian life, the astute observation of human nature, and the examination of contemporary moral and social issues define Trollope's writing. His books frequently include nuanced individuals battling social and personal issues against the backdrop of small-town England or the corridors of political power. Trollope is regarded as one of the greatest Victorian novels because of his realistic depiction of ordinary life, complex narratives, and witty writing.
