Alice Vavasour is the nominal heroine of this work. Central to the plot is her vacillation between two suitors, but this is overshadowed by the presence of the Pallisers. The book offers a clear-sighted view of the corrupt, shabby, hypocritical and sometimes noble sides of parliamentary life.

"Anthony Trollope knew more about women than any other novelist of his time" (Joanna Trollope)
"He is not a soothing writer at all, in fact he's rather subversive. Nobody gets away with anything in Trollope" (Victoria Glendinning)
"Trollope is wonderful, a major novelist, a joy... particularly admire his empathy with his characters, and the way in which he describes women...unique among male novelists, better even than Henry James, in his ability to enter the lives of women characters, and women on their own" (P.D. James)
"Pithy and pungent, almost like Jane Austen" (Amanda Craig)
With sympathy and care, Trollope observes the romances of two controversial heroines in the first of his Palliser novels

Softcover. Condition: Poor. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrucken; Schimmel. Frankenstein is the classic gothic horror novel which has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it is a story which she intended would 'curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.' The tale is a superb blend of science fiction, mystery and thriller. Victor Frankenstein driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature, experiments with alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living breathing articulate entity, it turns on its maker and the novel darkens into tragedy. The reader is very quickly swept along by the force of the elegant prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multi-layered themes in the novel. Although first published in 1818, Shelley's masterpiece still maintains a strong grip on the imagination and has been the inspiration for numerous horror movies, television and stage adaptations.
