Begun in a white heat of anger at corruption in high places, this book provides an exaggerated portrait of the age. Melmotte, a corrupt city financier of Napoleonic ruthlessness and charm, dominates the book.

Review:
"Trollope's masterpiece...its examination of how hopes of easy money can corrupt individuals and sections of society remains relevant today... It is all too easy to imagine the "Great Financier", Augustus Melmotte a shadowy, egotistical and tyrannical swindler, at the top of a contemporary investment bank." (Observer)

"Dominating the narrative is the majestically dishonest Augustus Melmotte: a speculative railroad financier who buys an English society only too willing to sell itself...The darkest of Trollope's 47 novels." --(Guardian)

"A tale of financial skulduggery reminiscent of recent city scandals" --(Daily Telegraph)

"His subtle depiction of relationships and the struggle to make decisions is unrivalled. He's so funny, so perceptive, so clear-sighted about the pursuit of money and power and status. Everyone with a pulse should read him." --(Francesca Simon Guardian)
Book Description:
Trollope's magnificent and prescient satire about a dishonest financier who buys his way into a corrupt society, and throws it into turmoil
