Über den Autor Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope, geboren 1815 in London, war Postaufsichtsinspektor und Schriftsteller. Er schrieb meist in den frühen Morgenstunden nach dem selbstauferlegten Reglement, eine Seite in fünfzehn Minuten zu schreiben; einige seiner 47 Romane sind an die 900 Seiten stark. Die BBC adaptierte viele seiner Werke als Hörstücke und Fernsehsendungen. Heute würde Trollope wohl Romantic-Comedy-Drehbücher schreiben. Er starb 1882.Irmela Schautz, geboren 1973, studierte Malerei und Grafik an der Kunstakademie Münster sowie Bühnen- und Kostümbild an der Staatlichen Akademie in Stuttgart. Seit 2005 arbeitet sie als freie Illustratorin für Verlage, Zeitschriften, Zeitungen und Werbekunden. Seit 2013 unterrichtet sie an der Akademie für Illustration und Design (AID Berlin).
