Bertrams - Anthony Trollope - Part 2 - Bertrams

What this episode covers

This is a massive effort, taking place in England and the Middle East, with a cast of thousands... Well, not thousands, fortunately, but certainly a great many. There are three Bertrams present: Sir Lionel, his son George (our hero), and the wealthy uncle. The primary story involves the joining of two couples (following some rocky periods), and the disposal of the uncle's fortune. The more amusing bits focus on peripheral characters in the social settings of a fictional town and in travel on board ship or touring Egypt. Trollope digresses from time to time to lecture us on religion, politics, and eccentricities of the British tourist. (Summary by Arnold Banner)

(Summary by Arnold Banner) British Barbarians Grant Allen In the serene suburb of Brackenhurst, civil servant Philip Christy’s life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters the enigmatic Bertram Ingledew. Alongside his sister Frida, who is married to affluent Scotsman Robert Monteith, Philip forms a bond with this peculiar stranger. Bertrams unconventional views on society challenge the status quo, leading to a whirlwind of upheaval in their family and community. Who exactly is Bertram, and what drives his unusual beliefs? As the narrative unfolds, author Allen delves into thought-provoking themes that resonate with contemporary issues. The tale begins with an intriguing introduction—a passionate critique of the publishing world that evolves into a philosophical exploration of Allens writing. Though the introduction may seem unrelated at first, listeners are encouraged to embrace it, or they may choose to dive straight into the story.

From the age of ten, Fanny navigates the complexities of life in a grand estate, constantly reminded of her lower status by the overbearing Aunt Norris. Despite her timid nature, Fanny possesses a strong moral compass, largely shaped by her compassionate cousin Edmund. As her friendship with Edmund blossoms into love, the arrival of the charming Crawford siblings, Mary and Henry, brings new challenges and romantic entanglements that threaten to upend the delicate dynamics of the Bertram household. In this captivating recording, talented LibriVox volunteers bring to life the vibrant characters of Austens narrative. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)
