Sinopse

Anthony Trollope's "The Complete Chronicles of Barsetshire" is a masterful compilation that encapsulates the evolution of the fictional English county of Barsetshire during the Victorian era. This series, comprising six novels, intricately weaves together a tapestry of social, political, and ecclesiastical life, characterized by Trollope's sharp wit and keen observational prowess. His nuanced portrayal of characters reveals both the humor and tragedy of human existence, inviting readers into a richly detailed world where class and morality constantly collide, underscoring the complexities of 19th-century English society. Trollope, a contemporary of Charles Dickens and George Eliot, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the Church and the British civil service. His career as a postal surveyor provided him with keen insights into social structures and human behavior, which he adeptly translated into the diverse characters that define Barsetshire. Trollope's understanding of the ecclesiastical landscape is particularly poignant in this collection, reflecting his own struggles and observations of clerical life and its ramifications on societal dynamics. This comprehensive collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the intricacies of character-driven narratives and the societal fabric of Victorian England. With its engaging prose and richly developed themes, "The Complete Chronicles of Barsetshire" not only entertains but also provokes thoughtful reflection on human relationships, making it a timeless classic worthy of any literary enthusiast's bookshelf.

There's no wrong way to be a woman. There are countless wrong ways to be a man. 
 
 
 
James Breakwell should know. He's tried just about all of them. Journalism. Pig ownership. Felony lawn gnome theft. Whatever masculinity is supposed to be, this can't be it. But can you really fail at something no one can quite define? Apparently. 
 
 
 
Now, in a series of funny, sharply observed, and occasionally poignant essays, everyone's favorite internet-famous father of four daughters lays down a lifetime of lessons in what it means to be a man. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll wonder what really happened to those creepy lawn gnomes on that deserted country road. (Spoiler alert: They're right behind you.) 
 
 
 
If you ever wanted to know how to fail at altruism, dodge the priesthood, and stumble your way into unexpected wisdom, this book is for you. 
 
 
 
How to Be a Man (Whatever that Means) presents a vision of manhood that looks very different from what you'll see on TV. And that's a good thing. Probably.

How we long for the chance to climb up on our mowers and mow worry free. Free to finish with all the belts still attached. Free to finish with all the blades in tact. And free to finish with all four wheels still on the tractor. What about two consecutive times mowing, without any mishaps? Is it even possible? Some of us can only dream.
