Anthony Trollope 
The Way We Live Now [EPUB ebook] 

Support

''The Way We Live Now'' is a satirical book titled by Anthony Trollope, which was first serialized before being published in London in 1875. One of the last important Victorian books to be published in monthly installments is this one. With 100 chapters, the book is Trollope's longest and has a tone of interesting subplots. It was influenced by the early 1870s financial scandals; Trollope had recently returned from overseas and was horrified by the greed and dishonesty they exposed. He was chastised by this book. ''The Way We Live Now'', a satire of the London literary scene in the nineteenth century and a forceful critique of the increasing influence of speculative finance in English life, is regarded by modern critics as Trollope's greatest book. It portrayed how avarice and dishonesty permeated that era's political, social, moral, and intellectual life. In order to secure a fortune, Felix Carbury, the beloved son of the author Lady Carbury, is persuaded to propose marriage to Augustus Mel motte's daughter, a French conman and rascal. One of Trollope's greatest satirical accomplishments is his portrayal of Lady Carbury, who is impulsive, unprincipled, and unwaveringly committed to her own self-promotion.
