Sinopsis

In "The Struggles of Brown, Jones, and Robinson," Anthony Trollope delivers a sharp social satire, ingeniously blending humor with keen observations on middle-class aspirations and the perils of commercial existence in Victorian England. Written in Trollope's signature narrative style, which interlaces realism with a touch of melodrama, the novella unfolds the struggles of three protagonists as they navigate the treacherous waters of competition and ambition. The story serves as a poignant critique of the mercantile mindset, probing into themes of social class, identity, and the moral implications of material success, all set against the backdrop of 19th-century England's burgeoning capitalist society. Trollope, a prominent figure of Victorian literature, was known for his insightful character studies and exploration of social dynamics. His experiences as a novelist, clerk, and railway administrator informed his understanding of the complexities of human ambition and societal interactions. These insights are evident in this work, as Trollope seeks to illuminate the often absurd behaviors that accompany professional rivalry and personal aspirations amidst an increasingly competitive environment. Readers seeking a thought-provoking yet entertaining exploration of ambition and societal expectations will find "The Struggles of Brown, Jones, and Robinson" an invaluable addition to their literary repertoire. Trollope's keen wit and observant storytelling not only engage but also challenge the reader to reflect on their own 'struggles' within the societal framework.

    Hilarious and surprising, this unapologetically Jewish story delivers a present-day take on a highly creative grandmother trying to find her PhD granddaughter a husband who is a doctor—with a yarmulke, of course. 
     
     
     
    Goldie Mandell is opinionated, assertive, and stuck in an assisted living facility. But even surrounded by schleppers with walkers, pictures of sunrises, fancy fish tanks, and an array of daily activities to complement the tepid tea and stale cookies on offer, her salt-free plate is full. She's got a granddaughter to settle, an eager love interest named Harry to subdue, and precious memories of her happy marriage to fellow Holocaust survivor Mordy to draw upon. 
     
     
     
    Maxie Jacobson is young, brilliant, and newly single, not by choice. But she's got her science career, a grandmother to care for, and her whole life ahead of her. When Maxie takes on the role of her grandmother's medical advocate, she has no idea Goldie operates with the single purpose of securing Maxie with Dr. Right. Instead, Maxie is distracted by her grandmother's unexpectedly charming long-haired, sandal-wearing, peculiarly-named driver, T-Jam Bin Naumann, definitely wrong in every way.

    What happens to teenaged heroes once they've fulfilled the prophecies and saved the world? Well, the lost prince of Atlantis is going to speed dating events in Manhattan, and having a surprising meeting.

    The stories all suggest that the US military would get the cool alien space tech, and we'd have to trust them to do the right thing with it. More likely, the recipients would be random ordinary folk- like a guy out shopping and the woman he's trying to chat up.
