Anthony Trollope

La Vendée (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Based on historical events around the time of the French Revolution, La Vendée was written early in Anthony Trollope's literary career. The novel opens with troops from the newly formed Republic of France as they attempt to recruit locals to their army, while in Vendée, the locals build up a substantial resistance. With a healthy dose of romance included, this is a departure from Trollope's more typical settings and subjects, which makes it a novel of particular interest.-

Autorenporträt

Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was a Victorian writer and author of 47 novels. He also wrote an autobiography, short stories and plays, travel articles, reviews and lectures. A prolific writer, he made no secret of the fact that money was his motivation for writing - an admission which raised eyebrows among his literary contemporaries at the time. The amount of works Trollope authored are testament to his belief in hard work. His first successful novel was The Warden followed by its sequel, Barchester Towers. The Chronicles of Barsetshire are perhaps his most well-known series of novels, though many of his works have been adapted for TV and radio, starring many familiar faces such as Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Bill Nighy and Tom Hollander. Alongside his literary career, Trollope also worked for some time for the Post Office and is credited with the introduction of the iconic post box to Britain. A memorial to Anthony Trollope was unveiled in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey in 1993.
