Greenberg","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat to come here a stranger, a young, unknown, and unfriended stranger, and tell us, in the name of the bishop his master, that we are ignorant of our duties, old-fashioned, and useless '  This 1857 sequel to The Warden wryly chronicles the struggle for control of the English diocese of Barchester. It opens with the Bishop of Barchester lying on his death bed; soon a battle begins over who will take over power, with key players including the rather incompetent Dr Proudie, his fiendishly unpleasant wife and his slippery curate, Slope. This is a wonderfully rich novel, in which men and women are too shy to tell each other of their love; misunderstandings abound; and Church of England officials are only too willing to undermine each other in the battle for power.  One of Trollope's best-loved novels, it is a dazzlingly real portrayal of nineteenth century provincial England peppered with humour, wisdom and extraordinary characters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43112290943050,"sku":"5930s","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/5930s_49ff0785-b7dc-4d24-af0e-3273fba77aa2.jpg?v=1765594037","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/barchester-towers-by-anthony-trollope-robert-a-greenberg-copy","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
