A review by jeet_the_maiden
The Warden by Anthony Trollope
4.0
Best part about the story was the magnificent diatribe by Anthony Trollope against newspapers (The Jupiter). He writes with pure sarcasm that surely governments, dignitaries and people in charge should take guidance from the media - the written word in this case - before making any decision for the people. Who themselves should be guided in principles by what a journalist/editor tells them, and a country can only be blessed if they have newspapers telling them what to do.
It's sadly unexpected but not less amusing that media even ninety years ago was as voluble and biased as it is now.
Also, the narration by Timothy West is simply brilliant. He does voices perfectly and his cadence and enunciation is excellent. Partly why I'm tempted to listen to Trollope is largely thanks to his reading of the novels.
