Title statement The Fixed Period Publication Saga Egmont 2021 Manufacture Saga Egmont Phys.des. 220 ISBN 9990003834980 9788726803532 Note K DISPOZICI POUZE V ELEKTRONICKÉ PODOBĚ Form, Genre E-knihy * Česká a světová literatura * Světová literatura * Klasická literatura Country Česko Document kind BOOKS Published in 1882, this extraordinary novel--an exercise in Swiftian irony combined with a love story in a futuristic setting--is entirely uncharacteristic of Trollope's usual drawing room conversations and hunting scenes. Set in the 1980s, The Fixed Period describes an imaginary, antipodean ex-colony governed by a President who views himself as a benefactor of the human race, Orwellian double-speak and gunboat diplomacy. This is Trollope's strangest and most chilling novel. Zdroj anotace: Web obalkyknih.czLoading…
