The Way We Live Now is a biting satirical novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in London in 1875 after gaining popularity through serialization. Many of Trollopes contemporaries regarded it as his crowning achievement. Spanning a hundred chapters, this lengthy novel is intricately woven with subplots that reflect the tumultuous financial scandals of the early 1870s. With sharp wit, it critiques the rampant dishonesty of the era—commercial, political, moral, and intellectual. Notably, it stands as one of the last significant Victorian novels released in monthly installments. (Summary from Wikipedia)Copyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction アート 政治・政府 政治学 文学史・文学批評
