  This is an unabridged version, 419MB, running for 30+ hours. <br /> <br /> Encoded as 32kbps 22050Hz MP3 mono - radio quality <br /> <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> <br /> Anthony Trollope's <span style="font-weight: bold;">Barsetshire</span><!--bold--> novels are well loved for their wit, satire, and keen perceptions of human nature. This sixth and final installment brings back some of his best loved characters: <span style="font-style: italic;">Major Henry Grantly</span><!--italic-->, first met as a boy in The Warden; the sparkling <span style="font-style: italic;">Lily Dale</span><!--italic--> and her thwarted lover, <span style="font-style: italic;">Johnny Eames</span><!--italic-->; and the domineering <span style="font-style: italic;">Mrs. Proudie</span><!--italic-->. <br /> <br /> When <span style="font-style: italic;">Reverend Josiah Crawley</span><!--italic-->, the impoverished curate of Hogglestock, is accused of theft it causes a public scandal, sending shockwaves through the world of Barsetshire. The Crawleys desperately try to remain dignified while they are shunned by society, but the scandal threatens to tear them, and the community, apart. Drawing on his own childhood experience of genteel poverty, Trollope gives a painstakingly realistic depiction of the trials of a family striving to maintain its standards at all costs. With its sensitive portrayal of the proud and self-destructive figure of Crawley, this is the darkest and most complex of all the Barsetshire novels. <br /> <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">This review is from: The Last Chronicle of Barset (Hardcover) </span><!--italic--><br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">THE LAST CHRONICLE OF BARSET</span><!--bold--> is one of the great novels in the English language, and yet it is not widely read. The reason for this is obvious: it is the LAST novel in the Barsetshire series of novels, and a relatively small number make it all the way through the previous five volumes. This is a shame, because while all the previous novels are quite excellent and thoroughly entertaining, the final novel in the series is a work of an entirely different level of magnitude. <br /> <br /> This novel is also one of the darkest that Trollope wrote. The moral dilemma in which Crawley finds himself would seem to belong more readily to the world of Dostoevsky than Victorian England. <br /> <br /> Can this novel be read on its own, without reading the novels that precede it? Yes, but I do feel that it is best read after working through the other books in the series first. This is hardly an unfortunate situation, since all the books in the series are superb (with the exception of the first novel, THE WARDEN, which, while nice, is merely a prelude to the far superior five novels that came after it). Many of the characters in THE LAST CHRONICLE appeared first as characters in the other novels, and the central character of the book, Crawley, himself appeared earlier. <br /> <br /> Trollope is...one of the most entertaining writers the English language has produced. At this point I have read around 20 of his novels, and fully intend to read more. But of all his books, this one might be his finest. The only two that I feel are close to the same level are his incredible books THE WAY WE LIVE NOW and HE KNEW HE WAS RIGHT (possibly the finest work on excessive jealousy since OTHELLO). Anyone who loves the English novel owes it to him or herself to read as many of these volumes as possible. My recommendation would be to read first the six novels in the Barsetshire Chronicles, and then to move on to the other two novels I mentioned. If still hooked, then try his other major series of novels, variously known as the Political novels or the Palliser novels or the Parliamentary novels, which begin with CAN YOU FORGIVE HER? <br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">Read by Simon Vance</span><!--italic--><br /> <br /> <br /> ****************** My other torrents are here<br /> <br /> http://www.mininova.org/user/instantcd<br /> <br /> ******************
