Barchester Towers
Anthony Trollope
Book Overview:
This is the second in Trollope’s ‘Barsetshire’ series of novels. The later novels in the series move away from Barchester itself but ‘Barchester Towers’ is very much a sequel to the first book ‘The Warden’.
The old bishop dies, the archdeacon, Dr. Grantly fails to succeed him and a new bishop, Dr. Proudie is appointed. Dr. Grantly gains a worthy foe, not the new bishop but his wife, Mrs. Proudie, strict sabatarian and power behind the Episcopal throne together with the bishop’s chaplain, Mr. Slope.
John Bold is also dead and Eleanor, now a wealthy young widow sets clerical hearts fluttering. The new bishop must deal with the wardenship of Hiram’s Hospital. Will it go to Mr. Harding? All is to play for. Then the old Dean dies and the stakes are raised.

Your assured friend,
Obh. Slope
The Palace, Monday morning,
20th August, 185––
Mr. Harding neither could nor would believe anything of the sort,
and he thought, moreover, that Mr. Slope was rather impertinent to call
himself by such a name. His assured friend, indeed! How many assured
friends generally fall to the lot of a man in this world? And by what
process are they made? And how much of such process had taken place as
yet between Mr. Harding and Mr. Slope? Mr. Harding could not help
asking himself these questions as he read and re-read the note before
him. He answered it, however, as follows:
Dear Sir,
I will call at the palace to-morrow at 9:30 a.m. as you desire.
Truly yours,
S. Harding
High Street, Barchester, Monday

Me ha gustado mucho más de lo que esperaba, me ha atrapado casi desde el principio y las últimas 200 páginas las he devorado.
La historia sigue a una serie de personajes que viven en Barchester y van a sufrir un gran cambio en sus vidas tras la muerte del obispo y la llegada de su sucesor.

To call this a delight is an understatement.
«Οι Πύργοι του Μπάρτσεστερ»,είναι μια ανθρώπινη εκδήλωση συμπεριφορών και συναισθημάτων.
Πύργοι γεμάτοι ρομαντισμό και άρωμα παλιών και πολλών αιώνων που μολύνθηκαν απο κάποιες τραγωδίες και ακολουθούν την κλίμακα αξιών της ανθρώπινης ζωής.
Όσο εξελίσσεται η πλοκή και η δράση των πρωταγωνιστών μας α
Barchester Towers is the second in the fabulous, of six Barsetshire novels by the illustrious Anthony Trollope a man with an acute imagination which this series displays. Set in a sleepy fictitious cathedral town, in mid nineteenth century England, no other writer could excel in chronicling. Eleanor
“There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel.”
A visit to Victorian England & indulging myself with another re-read of the delightful Barchester Towers.
A new bishop is coming to town (the fictional Barchester in the fictional Barsetshire) greatly disturbing the stagnant wate
