The Way We Live Now is a scathing satirical novel published in London in 1875 after a popular serialisation. It was
regarded by many of Trollope's contemporaries as his finest work.



One of his longest novels (it contains a hundred chapters), The Way We Live Now is particularly rich in sub-plot. It was
inspired by the financial scandals of the early 1870s, and lashes at the pervading dishonesty of the age, commercial,
political, moral, and intellectual. It is one of the last significant Victorian novels to have been published in monthly
parts.



Add a few iPhones, Blackberries and derivatives traders and you could well be in the 2000's.

Amazon Review



Often considered Trollope's greatest novel, this satire of British life, written in 1875, leaves no aspect of society
unexamined. Through his large cast of characters, who represent many levels of society, Trollope examines the
hypocrisies of class, at the same time that he often develops sympathy for these characters who are sometimes caught in
crises not of their own making. Filling the novel with realistic details and providing vivid pictures of the various
settings in which the characters find themselves, Trollope also creates a series of exceptionally vibrant characters who
give life to this long and sometimes cynical portrait of those who move the country. 



Lady Carbury, her innocent daughter Henrietta (Hetta), and her attractive but irresponsible son Felix are the family
around which much of the action rotates. They are always in need of money and Lady Carbury writes pap novels to support
the family (and Felix's drinking and gambling). In contrast to the Carburys, and just as important to the plot, are the
Melmottes. Augustus Melmotte, who has come from Vienna under a cloud of financial suspicions, has acquired a huge estate
for himself, his foreign wife, and his marriageable daughter. Boorish, but determined to become a leader of society,
Melmotte provides moments of humor for the reader, though he is scorned by an aristocracy which is nevertheless beholden
to him for his investments. 



When Melmotte becomes the major investor in a plan to build a railway from California to Mexico, Paul Montague, a
handsome engineer who has been working in America, arrives in town. A ward of Roger Carbury, cousin of Felix and Hetta,
he soon finds himself in love with Hetta - and in competition with Roger for her hand. Felix courts the Melmottes'
daughter for her fortune, and she falls in love with him while he dallies with a local domestic worker. Investors dash
to buy shares in the Mexican railway, and their investments ending in the sticky hands of Melmotte, who has bigger
plans. 



Often addressing the reader directly, Trollope fills the novel with action and subplots which illustrate a wide variety
of themes, often depicting his characters satirically to illustrate the social, political, and financial ills of the
day. Ahead of his time for his depiction of the lively, intelligent woman whose role is defined (and limited) by her
social and financial position, Trollope creates a number of resourceful women - and a number who are willing to do
almost anything to marry a wealthy man. As is customary in Victorian novels, the good are rewarded here, and the evil
are punished, but Trollope's characters, unlike those by Dickens, for example, usually control their own destinies.
Broad in scope, thoughtful in construction, complete in its depiction of 1870s' England, filled with wonderful
characters, and absolutely engrossing to read, The Way We Live Now is one of the great novels of the nineteenth century.

Technical warning note



This is a long book - 100 chapters. That number is signicant, in that it has 3 digits, rather than 2.



Musicmatch on the PC is happy. My Creative Zen players are happy. My Sandisk players cannot be persuaded that 100 is the
number that comes after 99. Whatever you try, 100 is the number that comes between 10 and 11. If your player falls into
that category, my apologies for the fact that you will have to skip a chapter after 10 and then go all the way back to
it after 99.







Enjoy and Seed!!
