But few towns, merely as towns, can be better worth visiting. In the first place, the volcanic formation of the ground on which it stands is not only singular in the extreme, so as to be interesting to the geologist, but it is so picturesque as to be equally gratifying to the general tourist. Within a narrow valley there stand several rocks, rising up from the ground with absolute abruptness.

Eine herrlich vergnügliche Weihnachtsgeschichte der etwas anderen Art mit bestem britischen Humor. Als Mr. Brown am Abend vor Weihnachten in einem Pariser Hotel mit Husten krank im Bett liegt, kommt ihm das nicht ganz ungelegen: Seine Frau wollte dieses Jahr unbedingt im Kreise der Großfamilie auf dem englischen Familiensitz feiern, doch er hat ganz und gar keine Lust, am kommenden Tag früh dorthin aufzubrechen. Mrs. Brown will keine Ausflüchte gelten lassen, und damit ihr Mann rasch wieder zu Kräften kommt, verspricht sie ihm einen Senfwickel, der seinen Husten mildern soll. Doch woher mitten in der Nacht in einem fremden Hotel Senf nehmen? Mrs. Brown irrt durch die dunklen Gänge, doch als es ihr endlich gelingt, den Senfwickel anzulegen, erlebt sie eine Überraschung ...

«Ein Roman voller menschenfreundlicher Ironie.» (Paul Ingendaay, FAZ)In spritzigen Dialogen und komischen Szenen zeichnet Anthony Trollope ein manchmal bissiges Porträt der englischen Provinz mit ihren Skurrilitäten und Unvollkommenheiten. Im Mittelpunkt: ein liebenswürdiger, aber wenig heroischer Kirchenmann, der sich plötzlich den öffentlichen Angriffen eines Weltverbesserers ausgesetzt sieht. In Barchester, einem fiktiven Domstädtchen im Westen Englands, genießt der Geistliche Septimus Harding hohes Ansehen. Eines Tages jedoch wird er in aller Öffentlichkeit von einem Mann, den er für seinen Freund und zukünftigen Schwiegersohn hielt, an den Pranger gestellt - und ist sich keiner Schuld bewußt. Als auch noch die Presse das Thema aufgreift, findet sich der stille Mr. Harding plötzlich im Zentrum eines veritablen Medienskandals wieder. Mit der ihm eigenen Integrität setzt er sich gegen das hinterhältige Denunziantentum zur Wehr.Wie kein anderer beherrschte Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) die Darstellung moralischer Konflikte zwischen individuellen Ansprüchen und gesellschaftlichen Normen. Ein grandioses Figurenkabinett, kluge Menschenkenntnis und feiner, hintergründiger Humor machen diesen Roman des erklärten Schülers von Jane Austen zu einem großartigen Lesevergnügen.

Selten wurde das Leben von Provinzgrößen so lustvoll seziert wie in Anthony Trollopes Roman über Adel und Geistlichkeit in der fiktiven englischen Grafschaft Barsetshire. Der feinsinnige Beobachter menschlichen Treibens legt augenzwinkernd den Mechanismus der Macht und dessen Rädchen bloß, die Neid, Geltungssucht und Intrige heißen.>Bischof Proudie sucht nach einem neuen Leiter für das Hiramsspital. Den früheren Vorsteher, Septimus Harding, mit diesem Posten zu betrauen, scheint naheliegend - ginge es dabei nicht um viel Grundsätzlicheres: um die Frage nämlich, wer die Entscheidung treffen und damit im Haus des Bischofs künftig den Ton angeben darf. Die herrische Gattin des kirchlichen Oberhauptes oder der intrigante Kaplan Slope - oder doch der Amtsinhaber selbst? Zwischen die sich formierenden Fronten gerät nicht nur der sanftmütige Harding, dessen Ticks, verbunden mit einer fast kindlicher Arglosigkeit, die Leser schon im ersten Band von Trollopes Barsetshire-Serie liebgewinnen durften. Auch seine verwitwete, nunmehr vermögende Tochter Eleanor kommt, von gleich drei Männern der Gemeinde hofiert, völlig unschuldig ins Gerede: Wird sie dem Drängen des cleveren Slope nachgeben, hilft sie dem Bruder der verrufenen Signora Vesey-Neroni aus der finanziellen Not oder fällt ihre Wahl doch auf den ehrenwerten Francis Arabin, den Gegner Slopes? Die Antwort auf diese und weitere heißumstrittene Fragen gibt Anthony Trollope in spritzigen Dialogen und komischen Szenen, die er von einem ebenso einfühlsamen wie ironisch-wohlwollenden Erzähler kommentieren läßt. Auch sein grandioses Figurenkabinett, das kluge Menschenkenntnis und versöhnliche Menschenliebe verrät, macht diesen Roman des erklärten Schülers von Jane Austen zu einem wahren Lesevergnügen.

Britannula, off the coast of New Zealand, is a thriving republic. Three decades ago the government of energetic young men decided that compulsory euthanasia after the age of 67 would spare unnecessary suffering and state expense. But now, in 1980, some of those once-young politicians are now elder statesmen, facing very significant birthdays... Trollope's only science-fiction novel, The Fixed Period is a satire on utopian dreams which he published in his own 67th year.
