The Bertrams I

Anthony Trollope (1815—1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. 'The Bertrams' is an unusual novel of world travel, in addition to the typical subjects of matrimony and money, couples and relationships, by the author whose best-known work is normally set in England. This one has the flavor of a Middle Eastern travelogue with lively Victorian commentary and satire.
