Sobre este item
This is the second impression (1977) of the Folio Society's 1976 printing of The Warden, the first novel in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series by the great English writer Anthony Trollope (1815-1882). It is about the disruptive politics surrounding the management of the Hiram's Hospital almshouses. It is illustrated with woodcuts by the British artist Peter Reddick.
As with all Folio Society books, it is printed on lovely paper. Brown and gray boards, in a pale gray slipcase. Mint condition.
NOTE: From the same Trollope series by the Folio Society, I also have Framley Parsonage, Barchester Towers and The Small House at Allington. If you want to buy them as a set, please contact me.
Sinopse
The tranquil atmosphere of the cathedral town of Barchester is shattered when a scandal breaks concerning the financial affairs of a Church-run almshouse for elderly men. In the ensuing furore, Septimus Harding, the almshouse's well-meaning warden, finds himself pitted against his daughter's suitor Dr John Bold, a zealous local reformer. Matters are not improved when Harding's abrasive son-in law, Archdeacon Grantly, leaps into the fray to defend him against a campaign Bold begins in the national press. An affectionate and wittily satirical view of the workings of the Church of England, The Warden is also a subtle exploration of the rights and wrongs of moral crusades and, in its account of Harding's intensely felt personal drama, a moving depiction of the private impact of public affairs.
