Acerca deste libro electrónico
An Eye for an Eye is a novel by Anthony Trollope written between 13 September and 10 October 1870, but held back from publication until August 1878 when serialization began in the Whitehall Review. Publication in the form of a two volume novel was timed to coincide with the issue of the final serialized episodes in January 1879. It is one of five novels which Trollope set mainly in Ireland, although much of the story takes place at Scroope Manor in Dorsetshire, the ancestral home of the ageing Earl of Scroope. (Wikipedia)
Acerca do autor
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a prolific English novelist whose works have left an indelible mark on Victorian literature. Born in London, Trollope's early life was marred by financial instability and familial strife, which perhaps fueled his later literary endeavors. Despite a rocky start, he found stability in a career with the General Post Office, where he famously penned many of his novels during long train journeys.Trollope's literary contributions are vast, with over 40 novels to his name, including the celebrated "Chronicles of Barsetshire" series and the politically charged "Palliser" series. His works are renowned for their keen social commentary, intricate character development, and exploration of the British class system. Trollope's ability to weave complex narratives around everyday life and his pioneering use of recurring characters across different novels have influenced countless contemporary writers.One of the most intriguing aspects of Trollope's career was his methodical approach to writing. He adhered to a strict schedule, writing 250 words every 15 minutes, a practice that modern authors and productivity enthusiasts find both astonishing and inspiring. Trollope also courted controversy with his candid revelations in his autobiography, where he admitted to writing for money and detailed his systematic approach to novel-writing, challenging the romantic notion of the tortured, inspired artist. His pragmatic view of literature as a profession was revolutionary, foreshadowing modern attitudes towards writing as a craft.Despite facing criticism for his commercialism, Trollope's legacy endures, not only for his literary achievements but also for his forward-thinking views on the business of writing. His works continue to be read and appreciated, offering a window into the complexities of Victorian society and the timeless intricacies of human relationships.
