Description

The Way We Live Now is a satirical novel by Anthony Trollope, published in London in 1875 after first appearing in serialised form. It portrays the corrupt and greedy world of Victorian society, focusing on the themes of financial speculation, moral decay, and social climbing. The story follows the manipulative Augustus Melmotte, a fraudulent financier, as he schemes his way through London society. Trollope’s work offers a scathing critique of the values and practices of the time. It is one of the last significant Victorian novels to have been published in monthly parts. The novel is Trollope’s longest, comprising 100 chapters, and is particularly rich in sub-plot
