The Kellys and the O'Kellys
Author: Anthony Trollope
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
This work set in Ireland, provides a much local touch as it tells the story of Martin Kelly and the woman he wants to marry. One of the favorite themes of English novelists of the Victorian era, Anthony Trollope runs all through the novel, that is, the pursuit of money for its own sake and the victory of pure sentiments over such greed. The Kellys and the O'Kellys also presents to us many of Trollope's fixations, such as hunting, racing, and gambling. Here we have Trollope's initial attempt at portraying a great country house. From creating some unforgettable characters to sketching the scenes perfectly, Trollope has done it all in this work. The author has also included the political events of the time, the Repeal movement in Ireland and the trial of Daniel O'Connor, as a backdrop to the central plot. This is the first time in his career that he experimented with a double-plot, a device which he later learned to use with expertise.

Book Description
Rin’s story continues in this acclaimed sequel to The Poppy War—an epic fantasy combining the history of twentieth-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters. The war is over. The war has just begun. Three times throughout its history, Nikan has fought for its survival in the bloody Poppy Wars. Though the third battle has just ended, shaman and warrior Rin cannot forget the atrocity she committed to save her people. Now she is on the run from her guilt, the opium addiction that holds her like a vice, and the murderous commands of the fiery Phoenix—the vengeful god who has blessed Rin with her fearsome power. Though she does not want to live, she refuses to die until she avenges the traitorous Empress who betrayed Rin’s homeland to its enemies. Her only hope is to join forces with the powerful Dragon Warlord, who plots to conquer Nikan, unseat the Empress, and create a new republic. But neither the Empress nor the Dragon Warlord are what they seem. The more Rin witnesses, the more she fears her love for Nikan will force her to use the Phoenix’s deadly power once more. Because there is nothing Rin won’t sacrifice to save her country . . . and exact her vengeance.
