 leoslittlebooklife | Dec 28, 2022 |   Trollope ties in this one, which he himself regarded as his best novel, all the different storylines of the series together in a magnificent and satisfying way. That in itself is a sign of his craftsmanship. But also, imagine: thousands of pages and yet we never got bored, the story never sagged once. And even though it’s not a thriller or mystery story, they were all six of them real page turners. What Trollope does so well is that in every book he turns the spotlight on just a few characters while the rest are side characters. In the next book a few of the latter are the main protagonists and those of the previous book retreat to the background. And so he pulls characters to and from the light in every volume. This is so well done! And then in this final volume almost all people that inhabited the previous ones are there. You feel you know them and love to see them back and they all feel very real. Really exceptional how Trollope pulls this off. I’m very happy that he wrote 47 novels, so there’s much more to read by this amazing Victorian novelist! leoslittlebooklife | Dec 28, 2022 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Anthony Trollope was a masterful satirist with an unerring eye for the most intrinsic details of human behavior and an imaginative grasp of the preoccupations of nineteenth-century English novels. In "The Last Chronicle of Barset," Mr. Crawley, curate of Hogglestock, falls deeply into debt, bringing suffering to himself and his family. To make matters worse, he is accused of theft, can't remember where he got the counterfeit check he is alleged to have stolen, and must stand trial. Trollope's powerful portrait of this complex man-gloomy, brooding, and proud, moving relentlessly from one humiliation to another-achieves tragic dimensions.
