The Way We Live Now captures the turmoil as the old
order is swept aside by the brash new forces of business and finance. Based on
the novel by Anthony Trollope, this satire of Victorian society contains all the
dynamic elements that made him one of the most celebrated and popular novelists
of his day--the trials and tribulations of young love, the pettiness of the
upper class life, the raw energy and excitement of the most powerful city the
world had ever seen, and the greed and corruption that lay just below its
glittering surface. |
