Nové vydání anglické četby Despite his mysterious antecedents, an unscrupulous financial
speculator, Ferdinand Lopez, aspires to marry into respectability and
wealth and join the ranks of British society. One of the nineteenth
century's most memorable outsiders, Lopez's story is set against that of
the ultimate insider, Plantagenet Palliser, Duke of Omnium, who
reluctantly accepts the highest office of state, becoming "the greatest
man in the greatest country in the world." The Prime Minister is the
fifth in Trollope's six-volume Palliser series and a wonderfully subtle
portrait of a marriage, political expediency, and misplaced love.
Nicholas Shrimpton's introduction explores the many strands of this
complex novel, the role of the "outsider" Ferdinand Lopez, and
Trollope's great skill in integrating the two themes of love and
politics, the marriage of Palliser and Lady Glencora and that of Emily
Wharton and Ferdinand Lopez. The book includes a compact biography of
Trollope, a wealth of useful explanatory notes, and a valuable appendix
which outlines the chronology of the Palliser novels, providing a unique
understanding of the series as a linked narrative.
