Anthony Trollope

An Unprotected Female at the Pyramids (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An interesting curio, a short Trollope tale and a tale of C19th travel to Egypt. Only really of interest as a curio. It is, as you might expect, a bit sexist and a bit certain of Britain's place in the world. Some might deem it a bit racist too as the arabs aren't portrayed well but anyone who has been to Egypt will know the inexorable persistence of beggars is actually well drawn. (Goodreads)

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.
