Dr. Thorne - Anthony Trollope - Bog

Dr. Thorne is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1858. The novel is set in the fictional county of Barsetshire and follows the story of Dr. Thomas Thorne, a respected village doctor who finds himself caught in the middle of a family feud.The main plot revolves around the romantic relationship between Mary Thorne, the doctor's niece, and Frank Gresham, the only son of a wealthy family. Frank's father, however, is vehemently opposed to the match, as he believes Mary's lack of social standing will harm the family's reputation.As the story unfolds, readers are introduced to a cast of colorful characters, including Lady Arabella Gresham, Frank's ambitious mother, and Sir Roger Scatcherd, a wealthy but ill-tempered man whose actions have far-reaching consequences for the other characters.Throughout the novel, Trollope explores themes of social class, family loyalty, and the power of money. He also provides a detailed portrait of rural life in Victorian England, complete with descriptions of country estates, fox hunts, and village gossip.Dr. Thorne is widely regarded as one of Trollope's most popular and enduring works. It has been adapted for television and film several times, most recently in a 2016 miniseries starring Tom Hollander and Rebecca Front.Dr. Thorne belonged to a family in one sense as good, and at any rate as old, as that of Mr Gresham; and much older, he was apt to boast, than that of the De Courcys. This trait in his character is mentioned first, as it was the weakness for which he was most conspicuous. He was second cousin to Mr Thorne of Ullathorne, a Barsetshire squire living in the neighbourhood of Barchester.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
