Way We Live Now

'The Way We Live Now' by Anthony Trollope is a scathing social critique of the greed and dishonesty permeating Victorian society. Centered around the unscrupulous financier Augustus Melmotte, whose dubious business dealings captivate the elite of London, the novel exposes the moral decay at the heart of the affluent. As characters navigate a world of financial speculation and personal ambition, Trollope dissects themes of corruption, love, and societal pressures with keen observation and biting irony. A timeless exploration of wealth and power.
