Produktbeschreibung

The Warden by Anthony Trollope is a beautifully crafted novel that explores the complexities of ethics, duty, and social justice in Victorian England. The story centers on Mr. Septimus Harding, a kind and gentle clergyman who serves as the warden of Hiram's Hospital, an almshouse for elderly men. When a reform-minded journalist questions the legality of Mr. Harding's income from the charity, a public scandal erupts, forcing Harding to confront his conscience and the possibility that he may be benefiting unfairly from the institution. As the conflict unfolds, Trollope deftly examines the moral dilemmas faced by Harding, his family, and the community. The novel is as much about the personal cost of doing what is right as it is about the larger social issues of the time, such as reform and the role of the church. The Warden is the first book in Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire series and introduces readers to his richly drawn characters and his compassionate, often humorous, depiction of human nature. It is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the balance between duty and morality.
