- Résumé : "A Ride Across Palestine" by Anthony Trollope is a narrative that explores the journey of the protagonist, Mr. Jones, through the Holy Land. Traveling alone, Jones is initially disheartened by the prospect of solitude. However, his journey takes a turn when he meets a young man named John Smith, who requests to join him on his expedition. Despite initial reservations, Jones agrees, and the two set off together, accompanied by a French dragoman and two Bedouin Arabs for protection. As they traverse the historic landscapes of Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and the River Jordan, the narrative delves into themes of companionship, introspection, and the contrast between expectation and reality. Smith, a character shrouded in mystery and personal sorrow, becomes a focal point of the journey, revealing his inner turmoil and the burden of his past. The story is rich with descriptions of the sacred sites and the diverse pilgrims they encounter, offering a vivid portrayal of the region's cultural and religious significance. Through their shared experiences, Jones and Smith form a bond, with Jones offering support and understanding to his troubled companion. The narrative captures the essence of travel as a means of personal growth and reflection, set against the backdrop of a land steeped in history and spirituality.
- Biographie : Anthony Trollope was the son of barrister Thomas Anthony Trollope and the novelist and travel writer Frances Milton Trollope. Though a clever and well-educated man and a Fellow of New College, Oxford, Thomas Trollope failed at the Bar due to his bad temper. Ventures into farming proved unprofitable, and he did not receive an expected inheritance when an elderly childless uncle remarried and had children. Thomas Trollope was the son of Rev. (Thomas) Anthony Trollope, rector of Cottered, Hertfordshire, himself the sixth son of Sir Thomas Trollope, 4th Baronet. The baronetcy later came to descendants of Anthony Trollope's second son, Frederic. As a son of landed gentry, Thomas Trollope wanted his sons to be raised as gentlemen and to attend Oxford or Cambridge. Anthony Trollope suffered much misery in his boyhood owing to the disparity between the privileged background of his parents and their comparatively small means.
