À propos de cet audio

At the opening of The Claverings (1866) the beautiful Julia Brabazon jilts her lover Harry Clavering in order to make a marriage of convenience with a wealthy but dissolute earl. Harry licks his wounds, leaves London to train as a civil engineer, and falls in love with his employer's daughter, to whom he soon becomes engaged. But when Julia returns unexpectedly as a wealthy widow, the flame of Harry's old love is rekindled.

In his depiction of this quintessential love triangle, Anthony Trollope digs deep into the psychological make-up of a wonderful array of flawed characters: emotionally strong, determined women whose only prospects depend on making an advantageous marriage; a weak-willed, vacillating anti-hero who in a moment of weakness makes an impossible promise; and a memorable cast of secondary characters, from a suspected Russian spy and a feckless gambler to a zealous evangelical clergyman.

very well written and presented. He finds different themes from his many novels and stories.

Interesting Story

Mixing up his usual country gentry with a hero who takes up civil engineering is probably not a good idea, since he knows nothing about the latter. And the access of nasty foreigners is another false element. Trollope himself warns us about not liking the hero, but his discouragement is not very convincing. I would put this close to the bottom of his achievements, but since he wrote 37 novels, one must sometimes expect a failure.

Trollope. not at his best
