About this audiobook
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was one of most succesful British authors of the Victorian era. He has written more than forty novels, as well as many short stories and travelogues. Trollope was also an editor and an active member of the London literary scene. Among his most notable works is the series "The Chronicles of Barsetshire", a series of six novels set in fictional Barsetshire.
Anthony Trollope
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was the third son of a barrister, who ruined his family by giving up the law for farming, and an industrious mother. After attending Winchester and Harrow, Trollope scraped into the General Post Office, London, in 1834, where he worked for seven years. In 1841 he was transferred to Ireland as a surveyor's clerk, and in 1844 married and settled at Clonmel. His first two novels were devoted to Irish life; his third, La Vendée, was historical. All were failures. After a distinguished career in the GPO, for which he invented the pillar box and travelled extensively abroad, Trollope resigned in 1867, earning his living from writing instead. He led an extensive social life, from which he drew material for his many social and political novels. The idea for The Warden (1855), the first of the six Barsetshire novels, came from a visit to Salisbury Close; with it came the characters whose fortunes were explored through the succeeding volumes, of which Doctor Thorne is the third.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Anthony Trollope, prolific a masterful storyteller has written a gem that has gone under the radar for over a century. For all lovers of classical romance, this is a surprisingly wonderful story! It is full of humor, although one has to hurry up to find it since the reader unflinchingly continues the story, leaving the irony and the Sarcasm to doddle behind. Can someone please explain why the story has not risen to the heights of a Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, or at least a David Copperfield?

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The last chapter full of excruciating embarrassing opinions on marriage..Trollope has a tin ear in this story so unlike him. Ayala's lips slightly parted..really?
