The narrative revolves around Augustin Grantly, a benevolent yet conflicted warden of an almshouse, who grapples with issues of ethics and financial integrity when his institution faces scrutiny. Trollopes characteristic blend of irony and humor shines through in a prose style that is both accessible and richly evocative, allowing readers to engage with the societal critiques of the ecclesiastical structures of the time. The novel serves as a microcosm of Victorian values, exploring themes of duty, faith, and the tension between personal morals and institutional expectations. Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a prolific English novelist whose experiences within the Church of England and civil service profoundly informed his writing. His keen observations of everyday life and the complexities of human behavior found expression in works that often questioned the status quo. "The Warden" is the first in Trollopes acclaimed Chronicles of Barsetshire series, reflecting both his personal convictions and societal observations, rooted in his own experiences navigating the intricate social hierarchies of his time. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in a nuanced exploration of Victorian society, as well as those seeking a layered character study that delves into the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in positions of power. Trollopes wit and insight make "The Warden" not only a compelling narrative but also a thought-provoking commentary on the intersection of personal ethics and institutional obligations.</p>...4328317The Warden4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-warden-8596547775768/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4199808/image.jpg?v=638446492510970000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20238596547775768_W3siaWQiOiJkZGEwNzdhMi01NGJjLTQ3NWYtOGUyZC1kMzZiMWE2M2QxMzkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMTBUMTU6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547775768_<p>The Warden concerns Mr Septimus Harding, the meek, elderly warden of Hirams Hospital and precentor of Barchester Cathedral, in the fictional county of Barsetshire. Hirams Hospital is an almshouse supported by a medieval charitable bequest to the Diocese of Barchester. Mr Harding was appointed to this position through the patronage of his old friend the Bishop of Barchester, who is also the father of Archdeacon Grantly to whom Hardings older daughter, Susan, is married. The warden, who lives with his remaining child, an unmarried younger daughter Eleanor, performs his duties conscientiously. The story concerns the impact upon Harding and his circle when a zealous young reformer, John Bold, launches a campaign to expose the disparity in the apportionment of the charitys income between its object, the bedesmen, and its officer, Mr Harding.</p>...(*_*)8596547775768_<p>Anthony Trollopes novel, The Warden, is a masterful exploration of moral and ethical dilemmas within the Church of England. Set in the fictional town of Barchester, the book delves into the story of Mr. Harding, the kind-hearted warden of Hirams Hospital, whose comfortable existence is disrupted when his position comes under scrutiny. Trollopes prose is characterized by its sharp social commentary and insightful character development, typical of the Victorian era. The novel reflects the tensions between tradition and progress, duty and personal integrity, making it a compelling read for those interested in 19th-century literature. Anthony Trollope, a prolific and well-respected Victorian author, drew inspiration for The Warden from his own experiences working for the postal service and his observations of English society. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, Trollope has crafted a thought-provoking narrative that continues to be relevant today. I recommend The Warden to readers who enjoy classic literature, particularly those interested in moral complexities and societal critiques. Trollopes nuanced exploration of duty and conscience will surely resonate with those looking for a captivating and meaningful read.</p>...8596547775768_Good Presslibro_electonico_8596547775768_8596547775768Anthony TrollopeInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/bookwire-epub-2f401c36-ebda-489c-82ab-42f42382e2dc.epub2023-12-12T00:00:00+00:00Good Press
