THE BERTRAMS (1859) by Anthony Trollope is an unusual novel of world travel, in addition to the typical subjects of matrimony and money, social strata, couples and relationships, by the author whose best-known work (such as the Barsetshire novels) is normally set in England.
This one has the flavor of a Middle Eastern travelogue with lively Victorian commentary and satire, and as such it is a fascinating glimpse into the international mindset of the time.

FROM MODEST LONDON CLERK -- TO WEALTHY MANOR SQUIRE
Here is one of Anthony Trollope's most critically successful novels, received well by his contemporaries, and yet experimental enough in execution to be almost "modern."

Indefer Jones is the squire of an estate named Llanfeare in Wales. He's dying. He'd like to bequeathe his manor and holdings to his beloved niece Isobel Brodrick -- but tradition dictates he will his land to a male relative with his name --...

John does not quite understand his father, Daniel Caldigate, Squire of Folking. His mother and two sisters have died, very recently while John was in his first year at Harrow; and when he returns to Folking for the holiday his father hides whatever grief he feels and discourses on subjects of small interest to a boy who, at fifteen, is forming his own views of the world: Liberal politics, and the antiquated ways of the Church -- how can he pay heed, when there are partridges to hunt? It is an easy matter to spend more time at Uncle Babington's house, where there is to be found riding,...

John Caldigate has broken and mended more fences than seems possible -- with his father, with his relatives, and with his father's friend the banker. And with more luck than he has needed, he has won the love of several young women, even while keeping his heart set upon the young daughter of that banker. Moreover he has risked his fortune in Australia, making his way among the most disreputable of men, in order to dig a shaft into the earth in search of gold -- and against all odds he has managed not only to find the true metal, but to bring it back home to England.
Now happily married...

Excerpt: ...and his colleagues regretted much the loss of the Right Honourable Baronet's services, but that it would hardly be necessary for him to defend the Ministry on all those points on which it had been attacked, as, were he to do so, he would have to repeat the arguments by which every measure brought forward by the present Ministry had been supported. Then Mr. Monk sat down, and the business of the House went on just as if Sir Orlando Drought had not moved his seat at all. "What makes everybody and everything so dead?" said Sir Orlando to his old friend Mr. Boffin as they walked home...
