Sinopse

Framley Parsonage is a novel by English author Anthony Trollope and the fourth installment in the Chronicles of Barsetshire, following Doctor Thorne and preceding The Small House at Allington. Like the other books in the series, it is set in the fictional county of Barsetshire and its cathedral town of Barchester.Amid the tranquil landscape of rural Barsetshire, ambition quietly disrupts the measured rhythms of clerical life. When the young and well-intentioned Reverend Mark Robarts comes under the patronage of powerful aristocrats, he believes he is securing a promising future for himself and his devoted wife, Fanny. But the allure of high society soon reveals its dangers. Flattered by influence, tempted by prestige, and entangled in financial obligations beyond his judgment, Mark risks both his reputation and his peace of mind.In Framley Parsonage, Trollope offers a nuanced exploration of the tensions between duty and aspiration, modesty and social ambition, personal integrity and worldly advancement. With subtle wit, psychological depth, and compassionate insight, he crafts a vivid portrait of Victorian provincial life—its politics, its courtships, and its moral dilemmas.Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) was one of the most accomplished and widely read English novelists of the Victorian era. Best known for his richly detailed portrayals of provincial life and the clergy, he gained lasting fame with his Chronicles of Barsetshire series. Trollope combined psychological insight, gentle satire, and social realism to explore themes of ambition, duty, politics, and morality. A remarkably disciplined writer, he produced dozens of novels while working for many years in the British Post Office. Today, he is celebrated as a master of character-driven fiction and a keen observer of 19th-century British society.

    Calvin Hamilton reluctantly returns to his home town of Parrish Creek, Texas, to sell his parents' house. Finding the place in need of repair he hires John "Brock" Brockwell to renovate the house before putting it on the market. Brock bares a passing resemblance to Gary Cooper, especially as he often wears western clothing. Calvin has always had a weakness for cowboys.
    Time has reversed the two men's fortunes. In high school Brock was the big man on campus, his popularity allowing him to hide his true nature. Calvin was a nerd, bullied by most of the jocks for being perceived as gay. Now Calvin is a successful New York advertising executive, and Brock is a divorced father with a teenage son who faces financial ruin, unable to pay his late father's hospital bills. 
    Can Calvin put past bitterness behind him and help the cowboy with whom he is rapidly falling in love? Will the deeply closeted Brock be able to admit he has feelings for Calvin? Or will pride, fear, distance, and the past prevent them from building a future together?

    Seventh Victim by Robert Sheckley - The most dangerous game, said one writer, is Man. But there is another still more deadly! 
    Stanton Frelaine sat at his desk, trying to look as busy as an executive should at nine-thirty in the morning. It was impossible. He couldn't concentrate on the advertisement he had written the previous night, couldn't think about business. All he could do was wait until the mail came. 
    He had been waiting for his notification for two weeks now. The government was behind schedule, as usual. 
    The glass door of his office was marked Morger and Frelaine, Clothiers. It opened and E. J. Morger walked in, limping slightly from his old gunshot wound. His shoulders were bent; but at the age of seventy-three, he wasn't;t worrying too much about his posture. 
    "Well, Stan?" Morger asked. "What about that ad?"

    When the new provincial governor arrives in Corinth, the esteemed Chief Magistrate Narkis Ligus, father to Mariana and Prima, is delighted. He sees a golden opportunity to propel himself to greater power and fortune by uniting his and the governor’s households through the marriage of one of his beautiful unwed daughters to the governor’s firstborn son. 
     
    Yet complications quickly arise in Narkis’s own family. Mariana, his stepdaughter, holds steadfast faith in Yeshua, rendering her hesitant to marry a man devoted to the Roman gods, despite Narkis’s urging. On the other hand, Prima, his daughter by birth, yearns for a life of wealth and status and is willing to go to great lengths to secure a marriage that fulfills her desires—even if it means betraying Mariana to do so. 
     
    “Angela Hunt takes her craft to new heights—and depths—as she fully immerses us in the lives and struggles of first-century followers of Yeshua.”—Tamera Alexander, bestselling author on The Woman from Lydia
