Sinossi

Anthony Trollope's "He Knew He Was Right" is a compelling exploration of marriage, jealousy, and societal norms within Victorian England. The novel intricately weaves together the lives of its characters, primarily focusing on the obsessive relationship between the protagonist, Louis Trevelyan, and his wife, Emily. Trollope's writing style is characterized by its psychological depth and keen social insight, employing a narrative technique that oscillates between omniscient commentary and intimate character perspectives. The novel's rich, descriptive prose not only captures the moral dilemmas faced by the characters but also critiques the rigid social conventions of the time. Trollope, a prominent figure in the Victorian literary scene, had firsthand experience of the complexities of marriage and relationships, having navigated multiple personal challenges in his own life. His relentless dedication to his writing and his keen observation of human behavior shine through in this work. Drawing upon his own experiences and keen social awareness, Trollope delves into the darker facets of love and possession, elevating the narrative to a profound commentary on the nature of trust and autonomy in marriage. This thought-provoking novel is highly recommended for readers interested in Victorian literature, psychological drama, and social commentary. Trollope's nuanced character studies and rich narrative will resonate with anyone looking to understand the intricacies of human relationships. "He Knew He Was Right" remains a timeless lesson on love, trust, and the perils of obsession that continues to captivate audiences today.

    A Modest Proposal is a biting satirical essay in which Jonathan Swift "proposes" that impoverished Irish families could ease their financial troubles by selling their babies as food to the rich. Written in 1729, this shocking and brilliantly ironic work criticizes British colonial rule and social indifference.Swift's deadpan tone and exaggerated logic make this short piece a masterpiece of satire. Behind its dark humor lies a powerful critique of exploitation, injustice, and the failure of political solutions. It remains one of the most famous and disturbing essays in the English language.

    THE CONTEMPORARY NOVEL: Circumstances have made me think a good deal at different times about the business of writing novels, and what it means, and is, and may be; and I was a professional critic of novels long before I wrote them.
