The House of Heine Brothers in Munich

by Anthony Trollope

Overview

Isa Heine, daughter of the junior partner of Heine Brothers, bankers in Munich, fell in love with their young English clerk Herbert Onslow. Herbert’s father had promised him a partnership in the firm, and since his income made marriage impossible before this should be obtained, his apprenticeship seemed endless to the impatient lover. Although Isa would have been content to wait, she sympathised with his restlessness and courageously approached her formidable Uncle Hatto, senior member of the firm and a crotchety old bachelor, to ask that Herbert he given a partnership at once so that they might marry. Uncle Hatto was inclined to stand on the letter of the agreement, but Isa’s pleading persuaded him and Herbert was given the promotion. (Google Books)

About the Author

Anthony Trollope (24 April 1815 – 6 December 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote novels on political, social, and gender issues, and other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life, but he had regained the esteem of critics by the mid-20th century. In 1851, Trollope was sent to England, charged with investigating and reorganising rural mail delivery in south-western England and south Wales. The two-year mission took him over much of Great Britain, often on horseback. Trollope describes this time as "two of the happiest years of my life". In the course of it, he visited Salisbury Cathedral; and there, according to his autobiography, he conceived the plot of The Warden, which became the first of the six Barsetshire novels. His postal work delayed the beginning of writing for a year;[29] the novel was published in 1855, in an edition of 1,000 copies, with Trollope receiving half of the profits: £9 8s. 8d. in 1855, and £10 15s. 1d. in 1856. Although the profits were not large, the book received notices in the press, and brought Trollope to the attention of the novel-reading public. (Wikipedia)
