Publisher's Synopsis
Nina Balatka is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1867. The story is set in Prague, a city in the Czech Republic, and follows the life of Nina Balatka, a young Jewish woman living in a society that is hostile towards her religion. Nina is in love with Anton Trendellsohn, a Christian man who is also in love with her. However, their relationship is complicated by their religious differences, and the disapproval of their families and society.As the story unfolds, Nina's father, who is a moneylender, is accused of fraud and is arrested. This leads to a series of events that put Nina's life and reputation in danger. She is forced to make difficult choices and confront the prejudices of those around her, as she fights to clear her father's name and protect her own future.Trollope's novel explores themes of love, religion, and social class, and provides a vivid portrayal of life in 19th-century Prague. It is a compelling story of a young woman's struggle for independence and acceptance, and a powerful commentary on the complexities of human relationships.Then she took herself off, forgetting in her angry spirit the prudential motives which had induced her to begin the conversation with Souchey. But Souchey, though he was going to Madame Zamenoy's house to get his dinner, and was looking forward with much eagerness to the mess of hot cabbage and the cold sausage, had by no means become ""one of them"" in the Windberg-gasse. He had had more than one interview of late with Lotta Luxa, and had perceived that something was going on, of which he much desired to be at the bottom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
