Phineas Redux. E-book. Formato EPUB. <b>Phineas Redux by Anthony Trollope</b>&nbsp;is a&nbsp;novel&nbsp;by&nbsp;Anthony Trollope, first published in 1873 as a serial in&nbsp;<i>The Graphic</i>. It is the fourth of the &quot;Palliser&quot; series of novels and the sequel to the second book of the series,&nbsp;<i>Phineas Finn</i>.<br /><br />His beloved wife having died during pregnancy, Phineas Finn finds Irish society and his modest government position in Ireland dull and unsatisfying after the excitement of his former career as a&nbsp;Member of Parliament. Back in England, the&nbsp;Liberals&nbsp;are determined to overturn the&nbsp;Conservative&nbsp;majority in&nbsp;Parliament. As Finn had been considered the most promising of the younger set, he is encouraged to stand for Parliament again, and he takes the risk of giving up his salaried position.<br /><br />Returning to London, he renews his acquaintance with the wealthy widow Madame Max Goesler. In the past, she had offered to marry him and had been gently turned down; after an awkward first encounter, they renew their friendship.<br /><br />In the political arena, Finn loses the election by a narrow margin, but his luck does not desert him. On appeal, it is found that his opponent had bribed some of the voters; their disqualification is enough to give Finn the victory.
