Dr. Thorne (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161428995)

Dr. Thorne is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, a renowned English novelist. The book tells the story of Dr. Thomas Thorne, a kind-hearted and respected physician who lives in the village of Greshamsbury. He has a close relationship with the Gresham family, who are wealthy landowners in the area. However, when the Gresham family falls into financial trouble, they are forced to consider marrying their son, Frank, to a wealthy heiress named Miss Dunstable. This decision causes tension between the Gresham family and Dr. Thorne, who believes that love should be the basis for marriage, not money. As the story unfolds, the reader is taken on a journey of love, scandal, and family drama. Trollope's writing style is known for its vivid descriptions of characters and settings, and his ability to capture the complexities of human relationships. Dr. Thorne is a timeless classic that explores the themes of love, loyalty, and social class in 19th century England.Dr. Thorne belonged to a family in one sense as good, and at any rate as old, as that of Mr Gresham; and much older, he was apt to boast, than that of the De Courcys. This trait in his character is mentioned first, as it was the weakness for which he was most conspicuous. He was second cousin to Mr Thorne of Ullathorne, a Barsetshire squire living in the neighbourhood of Barchester.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
