Download Phineas Redux AudioBook Free
Exclusively from Audible Inside the fourth of the Palliser experiences, Trollope employs Phineas Finn's return to the dangerous world of Westminster politics following the fatality of his better half, Mary. His career takes a flip for the worse when his political competitor is murdered. With all the circumstantial evidence directing at Phineas, he is tossed under suspicion and eventually finds himself ranking trial at the Old Bailey. The problem is complicated by the presence of two ladies in his life: his old fire Sweetheart Laura, whose estranged husband is set to demolish Phineas' reputation, and the prosperous and enigmatic widow, Madame Potential. Trollope's ideas of political rivalries, bribery, injunctions, romantic entanglements and a scandal-mongering popular press seem as relevant today as these were in the 1870s. A tale full of crisis that echoes our modern day political world. Trollope's work is regarded by some as among the greatest of 19th-century fiction and with his powerful political storytelling it's unsurprising that admirers of Trollope's work have included former British Prime Ministers Harold Macmillan and Sir John Major.
