Chronicles of Barsetshire (part 2): Barchester Cathedral (collected Works of Trollope)
About This Novel
Trollope, the most prolific and greatest novelist in the history of British literature, has the most read works in the UK. He is a writer as famous as Shakespeare and Dickens. He is the first person in literature in the Victorian era and the representative work of the outstanding British novelist Trollope. Based on the authoritative original version verified by Page and Sadlier, the original grid version of famous names has not been seen in the market for 35 years. It shows a panoramic view of the satirical ridicule of the British Parliament and Church, the Jupiter Newspaper and the Pre-Raphaelites in the Victorian era. Two years after the publication of "Barchester Nursing Home", its sequel "Barchester Cathedral" came out. In the last chapter of "The Nursing Home", the author tells us that the old bishop has reached the age of eighty and "probably will pass away slowly and peacefully like a spark extinguishing." In the first chapter of "The Cathedral," the bishop is bedridden and about to die. Everyone thought that his son, Dr. Glenleigh, the church official, had all the necessary qualifications and would probably succeed his father as bishop. But the bishops were appointed by Downing Street politicians at a time when the government was crumbling. If the old bishop dies before the government changes, then Dr. Glenray will obtain the position of bishop; if the old bishop dies for a long time and the government falls, then the opportunity of the chancellor to succeed the bishop is lost. The president loved his father very much, but he was also a power-hungry, arrogant man who wanted to be a bishop. At this time, he stayed by his father's bedside, hoping in his heart that his father would die soon. Then, he came to his senses and quickly knelt down and begged God to forgive him...
