Phineas Redux (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162679686)

Phineas Redux is a novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1874. It is the fourth book in the Palliser series and follows the story of Phineas Finn, a former Member of Parliament who returns to London after a long absence. Finn is struggling to regain his position in society and politics, and his fortunes take a turn for the worse when he is accused of murder. The novel explores themes of love, politics, and justice, and features a cast of memorable characters, including Lady Laura Standish, Madame Max Goesler, and the Duke of Omnium. Trollope's writing is known for its wit and insight into human nature, and Phineas Redux is no exception, offering a rich and engaging portrait of Victorian society.Phineas, on the other hand, made two or three great speeches every evening, and astonished even Mr Ruddles by his oratory. He had accepted Mr Ruddles's proposition with but lukewarm acquiescence, but in the handling of the matter he became zealous, fiery, and enthusiastic. He explained to his hearers with gracious acknowledgment that Church endowments had undoubtedly been most beneficent in past times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
