Sobre aquest llibre

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of 19th-century Ireland, "The Macdermots of Ballycloran" intricately weaves the tale of a family confronted by social upheaval, personal ambition, and the complexities of love. Trollope employs a rich narrative style, characterized by his deft use of irony and social commentary, to articulate the struggles of the Macdermot family as they navigate their socio-political landscape. The novel is not merely a family saga; it also serves as a critical exploration of the Irish gentry and the impact of the encroaching British influence, making it a poignant reflection on identity and belonging. Anthony Trollope, a leading figure of Victorian literature, was deeply influenced by his own experiences in Ireland and his observations of its socio-political climate. Raised in a complex environment of privilege and hardship, Trollope's acute awareness of class tensions informs this work. His extensive travels across Ireland for both personal and professional reasons granted him a unique lens through which to view the intricacies of Irish life, which is vividly captured in his portrayal of the Macdermots. For readers intrigued by the intersections of personal and political narratives, "The Macdermots of Ballycloran" is an essential exploration of familial bonds, identity, and resilience amidst adversity. Trollope's keen insights into human nature and society ensure a richly rewarding reading experience that resonates with contemporary themes of racial and cultural identity.

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era, renowned for his keen observations of the social and political landscapes of the time. Among his prodigious output, he is best known for his series of novels known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire and the Palliser novels. His writing career began with the publication of 'The Macdermots of Ballycloran' in 1847, which, while not immediately successful, laid the foundation for his narrative style, characterized by its detailed character development and authentic depictions of contemporary life. Trollope's works are distinguished by their thoughtful exploration of the moral dilemmas facing individuals in the midst of societal changes, blending romance, social commentary, and a wry sense of humor. Today, Trollope's novels are celebrated for their enduring relevance and his significant influence on subsequent generations of writers. His ability to craft stories that resonated with the middle-class Victorian readership, providing both entertainment and reflection on the issues of his day, solidified his place in the annals of English literature.
