Produktinformationen "The Prime Minister"
The Prime Minister by Anthony Trollope is the fifth novel in his Palliser series, exploring politics, marriage, and personal ambition in Victorian England. The story centers around Plantagenet Palliser, now the Duke of Omnium, who reluctantly becomes Prime Minister. Despite his honesty and integrity, he struggles with the political maneuvering and lack of support from his own party. His wife, Lady Glencora, is energetic and socially ambitious, often clashing with his reserved nature and political ideals. A parallel plot involves Ferdinand Lopez, a charming but morally dubious outsider who marries Emily Wharton, a wealthy young woman. His relentless pursuit of status and money ultimately leads to tragedy, highlighting themes of social mobility, greed, and the consequences of bad choices. Overall, the novel blends political drama and personal dilemmas, questioning who is truly fit to govern and the cost of ambition in both public and private life.
