Sinopse

Anthony Trollope's "The Palliser Novels" is a masterful collection that weaves intricate narratives around politics, society, and the personal lives of its characters within the framework of Victorian England. Comprising six interrelated novels, including "Can You Forgive Her?" and "The Prime Minister," Trollope employs an engaging, third-person omniscient narrative style that seamlessly integrates political themes with character introspection. The novels reflect the complexities of the British class system, the evolving role of women, and the tension between personal ambition and social duty, showcasing Trollope's keen observational skills and his understanding of human motivation. Trollope himself was deeply enmeshed in the world of politics and literature, having served in the Post Office while simultaneously crafting his works. His firsthand experience with the political machinations of the time undoubtedly influenced the portrayal of powerful and flawed characters such as Plantagenet Palliser and Glencora. The author's unique perspective allows him to delve into the ethical dilemmas and societal constraints that shape individual destinies, revealing the deeper currents of human experience. "The Palliser Novels" is highly recommended for readers seeking a profound exploration of political intrigue and personal relationships set against a richly detailed historical backdrop. Trollope's sharp wit, complex characters, and insightful social commentary make this series an essential read for both literary enthusiasts and historians alike.

    Published posthumously in December 1817, Persuasion was Jane Austen's final completed work before her death in July 1817.  It has delighted readers ever since. It is a historical romance, which delves into themes of love, social class, and individual agency. It revolves around the life of Anne Elliot who was persuaded when she was 19 years old, to break off her engagement with Frederick Wentworth, a promising, though relatively poor young lieutenant in the Royal Navy.  
    Lonely and unloved by her father and older sister, and considered of little consequence by her married sister Mary, Anne leads a dull life. However, after the naval war ends, Frederick Wentworth returns to England having earned prestige and fortune. Seven years have now passed. But has Anne gained enough independence from her family and social circle to choose her own future? And do her ties to Captain Wentworth remain unbroken? 
    In this delightful audiobook, all 24 chapters are masterfully brought to life by seasoned vocal artist Stephanie Poppins. Her bright and energetic performance expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. And her attention to detail, her literary background, and her commitment to auditory excellence, make this a captivating listen.  
    This is the fourth audiobook in the Neworld Classics Collection. 
    Published by Neworld Books Limited.  
    Soundtrack written and produced by Jean Miles Carter.
