The way to heaven has become very difficult for us because of our own inventions; but the way God laid out was very simple.

Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) war ein englischer Schriftsteller und leitender Postbeamter des viktorianischen Zeitalters. Bekannt ist das anglikanische Kirchenmitglied vor allem für seine Barsetshire-Romane über das Innenleben der Geistlichkeit, wobei die Literaturwissenschaft auch zeitgenössische antisemitische Stereotype in einzelnen Werken kritisiert. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Werke scharfsinnige Einsichten in menschliche Gewissenskonflikte, Heuchelei und das Ringen um ethische Integrität im Alltag.
