The Way We Live Now: The Victorian Literary Classic

By: Anthony Trollope

About The Way We Live Now "These leaders of the fashion know that he is what he is because he has been a swindler greater than other swindlers. What follows as a natural consequence? Men reconcile themselves to swindling." The Way We Live Now is a novel by English author Anthony Trollope, published in 1875. Considered by many critics as his finest novel, it is a brilliant satire and - inspired by the financial scandals of that era - a sharp indictment of what Trollope termed "the commercial profligacy of the age". The plot follows the villainous Augustus Melmotte, a French trickster, and his daughter, to whom Felix, the cherished son of the impetuous, self-promoting authoress Lady Carbury, is persuaded to propose marriage in his pursuit of a fortune. An acutely observed, satirical literary classic, and an unmissable read.
