Beschreibung

Phineas Finn by Anthony Trollope Phineas Finn is a novel by Anthony Trollope and the name of its leading character. The novel was first published as a monthly serial from October 1867 to May 1868 in St Paul's Magazine.

It is the second of the "Palliser" series of novels. Its sequel, Phineas Redux, is the fourth novel in the series. The character of Phineas Finn is said to have been partly inspired by Sir John Pope Hennessy (grandfather of the museum director of the same name), a Roman Catholic from Cork, who was elected as an "Irish Nationalist Conservative" Member of Parliament for King's County in 1859.

It deals with both British parliamentary politics of the 1860s, including voting reform (secret ballot and eliminating rotten boroughs and Irish tenant-right) and Finn's romances with women of fortune, which would secure his financial future.

Finn is the only son of a successful Irish doctor, Dr Malachi Finn of Killaloe, County Clare, who sends him to London to become a lawyer. He proves to be a lackadaisical student, but being pleasant company and strikingly handsome to boot, he makes many influential friends. One of them, a politician, Barrington Erle, suggests that he stand for Parliament in the coming election.

    In a town full of lies, the truth can get you killed. 
    Jonny Mendez thought he’d finally found peace in Redwood, Oregon—a quiet town where no one asked too many questions. But when a man leaps to his death from the Royal Hotel, Jonny’s instincts scream that something isn’t right. Days later, another death rocks the town—another supposed suicide, another connection to a decades-old secret. 
    As Jonny digs deeper, he uncovers a sinister web of betrayal, blackmail, and a deadly truth someone will kill to keep buried. The closer he gets to the answers, the more dangerous his world becomes. 
    Because in Redwood, someone is pulling the strings… and if Jonny isn’t careful, he’ll be next. 
    Perfect for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci, and James Patterson, I Hear You is a pulse-pounding thriller packed with suspense, intrigue, and a relentless hero you won’t forget. If you love high-stakes mysteries and small-town secrets, this is one you won’t be able to put down!

    The Lusiads (Os Lusíadas) is a Portuguese epic poem, written in the 16th century by Luis Vaz de Camões. The poem tells the tale of the Portuguese discoveries in the 15th and 16th centuries, specially the voyage to India by Vasco da Gama. Modelled after the classic epic tradition, Camões' Lusiads are considered not only the first literary text in Modern Portuguese, but also a national epic of the same level as Vergil's Aeneid. In the 19th century, Sir Richard Francis Burton translated Camões' Lusiads, in what he considered "the most pleasing literary labour of his life". (Summary by Leni)
