Opis: Penguin Books 1994 , str. 514 , stan bdb- (podniszczona lekko okładka, dedykacja) COMPLETE AND UNABRIDGED The third in the Barsetshire chronicles, Trollope considered Doctor Thorne to be the most popular of his novels and, with its attractive hero and heroine, it is surely one of his happiest. Frank Gresham is handsome, generous and not much interested in money, which is unfortunate as he is expected to restore the dwindling family fortunes by marrying an heiress. To make matters worse he has fallen in love with the astonishingly self-possessed yet impoverished Mary Thorne, niece to Doctor Thorne, and wishes to marry her. Dismayed by her mysterious background as much as her poverty the family strive to keep the young lovers apart. Only the doctor knows that Mary may inherit a large legacy which would suddenly make her acceptable to the narrow, middle-class Barsetshire society to which Frank belongs. Anthony Trollope's re-creation of life in Victorian rural England brilliantly captures the imagination with its lively portrayal of events and characters and realistic representation of the society of the day.
