Barchester Towers is the second of six in the series known as Chronicles of Barsetshire. Narrator Timothy West brings life to the story, begun in The Warden, of Mr. Harding and his daughter Eleanor. It chronicles the struggle for control of the English diocese of Barchester after one Bishop dies and a new one is selected.
The rather incompetent new Bishop, Dr. Proudie, led by his formidable wife, and ambitious chaplain, Mr. Slope, begin to create turmoil with their desire to shake up the church establishment in Barchester with new policies and practices. However, the established clergy of Barchester, led by Archdeacon Grantly, the son of the previous Bishop, are equally determined to keep things just as they've always been. Archdeacon Grantly declares 'War, war, internecine war!' on Bishop Proudie, but who will win the battle between the archdeacon, the bishop, Mr. Slope, and Mrs. Proudie?
The Guardian included Barchester Towers in its list of '1000 novels everyone must read'. Full of humour and extraordinary characters, it is no wonder it continues to be Trollope's best-loved work.

Geschichte
In this world of bribes, vendettas, and swindling, in which heiresses are gambled and won, Trollope's characters embody all the vices: Lady Carbury is 'false from head to foot'; her son Felix has 'the instincts of a horse, not approaching the higher sympathies of a dog'; and Melmotte - the colossal figure who dominates the book - is a 'horrid, big, rich scoundrel...a bloated swindler...a vile city ruffian'. But as vile as he is, he is considered one of Trollope's greatest creations.

Geschichte
In the fourth audiobook in Anthony Trollope's series known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, the values of a Victorian gentleman, the young clergyman Mark Robarts, are put to the test. Though he lives a comfortable life, has a doting wife, children and a patroness in Lady Lufton, his ambitions stretch beyond the little village of Framley. Through a combination of naivety and social climbing, Robarts is compromised and brought to the brink of financial and social ruin by the disreputable politician, Sowerby.

Geschichte
In the last and most complex of the Barsetshire novels, many of Trollope's best-loved characters appear, but the mood of the novel is darker and more uneasy than in earlier volumes. At the heart of the novel is the penniless Reverend Josiah Crawley, first encountered in Framley Parsonage, who in the opening of the book is accused of theft, creating a public scandal that threatens to tear the community apart.

Klerikal aber unterhaltsam
Ein Roman über ein paar Kleriker der Church of England - wie öde ist das denn?
Ganz im Gegenteil! BT ist beste Unterhaltung - es geht um Karriere, sozialen Status und natürlich die Liebe.
Wenn Trollope heute lebte, würde er vermutlich seine Romane im Silicon Valley ansiedeln (besser als Dave Eggers schreibt er jedenfalls); die Kirche war zu Trollopes Zeit eben eine Organisation, in der man Karriere machen konnte und damit ein gutes Setting für Intrigen.
Trollope hat hier einige unvergessliche Charaktere geschaffen, die einfach Spaß machen:
Mrs. Proudie, die Frau des Bischofs, der schleimige Kaplan Mr. Slope, die exzentrische Signora Vesey Neroni ...
Einen Punkt Abzug für die Story nur deshalb, weil sich der heutige Leser sich schon kurz einlesen sollte in die Thematik High Church/Low Church. Aber wofür gibt's Wikipedia ...
Timothy West liest exzellent.
