The Way We Live Now is a satirical novel by Anthony Trollope.

The Way We Live Now was Trollope’s longest novel, and is particularly rich in sub-plot. It was inspired by the financial scandals of the early 1870s

Anthony Trollope (born on April 24, 1815)

W. H. Auden wrote of Trollope as follows: “Of all novelists in any country, Trollope best understands the role of money. Compared with him, even Balzac is too romantic.” Contemporaries of Trollope praised his understanding of the quotidian world of institutions, official life, and daily business; he is one of the few novelists who find the office a creative environment.

    Trollope worked at post office but unlike Faulkner who neglected his job and lost letters, Trollope was creative and devised a traveling post so he could write novels on the train.
