Anthony Trollope (1815—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. "The Struggles of Brown, Jones and Robinson" is a satire written about a clothing business that is doomed to failure from the very start due to its owner's lack of initiative. Through his masterful narrative and subtle hints, Trollope shows us how the risks of running a business are extremely real.
