The Way We Live Now, Anthony Trollope, Borzoi 1st Ed, 1950

The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope is a classic Victorian novel examining wealth, speculation, politics, and social ambition in late-19th-century England. Often considered one of Trollope’s strongest works, the novel follows the rise and fall of the financier Augustus Melmotte and offers a sharp, satirical portrait of moral compromise and social hypocrisy.

This edition includes an introduction by Marion E. Dodd and was published by Alfred A. Knopf in New York in 1950 as part of the Borzoi Books series.
