Description:
The Way We Live Now is Anthony Trollope's radical exploration of the dangers associated with speculative capitalism, edited with an introduction and notes by Frank Kermode in Penguin Classics.
Augustus Melmotte is a fraudulent foreign financier who preys on dissolute nobility - using charm to tempt the weak into making foolish investments in his dubious schemes. Persuaded to put money into a notional plot to run a railroad from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, the capricious gambler Felix Carbury soon becomes one of his victims. But as Melmotte climbs higher in society, his web of deceit - which also draws in characters as diverse as his own daughter Marie and Felix's mother, the pulp novelist Lady Carbury - begins to unravel. A radical exploration of the dangers associated with speculative capitalism, this is a fascinating satire about a society on the verge of moral bankruptcy.
Frank Kermode's introduction explores the real-life inspiration for Trollope's masterly satire. This edition also includes detailed notes.
Anthony Trollope (1815-82) had an unhappy childhood characterised by a stark contrast between his family's high social standing and their comparative poverty. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, but did not meet with success until the publication of the first of his 'Barsetshire novels', The Warden (1855). As well as writing over forty novels, including such popular works as Can You Forgive Her? (1865), Phineas Finn (1869), He Knew He Was Right (1869) and The Way We Live Now (1875) Trollope is credited with introducing the postbox to England.

good for light chewers
Size: 16P, Color: yellow
Decent number of balls for the price! Unfortunately, my dog obliterated half of the tennis balls within an hour, but I'm sure part of that is because he likes to carry more than one ball at a time and chew on them a little before dropping for someone to throw. Otherwise, they are super bright, making them easy to see in the dark or dark places. They have some bounce to them, which makes playing fetch a little more exciting. My dog loves balls, so he has no complaints other than they don't squeak.

Best frisbees I’ve found for an active dog
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: 9" Pack of 5, Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: 9" Pack of 5
My dog is an ACD/Border Collie mix, so he is absolutely obsessed with anything that flies or moves fast. We’ve gone through a lot of frisbees over the years, and these are the ones I keep coming back to. They fly really well once you get used to them, and they’re soft enough that I don’t worry about his teeth or mouth the way I do with harder plastic discs. They also hold up surprisingly well considering how rough he is with toys. Mine get used constantly in the yard, at parks, and near the water, and they’ve lasted much longer than most dog frisbees I’ve tried. I’ve bought several packs over the years, but honestly most of the damage has happened because my dog likes to lay down and chew on them after playing fetch. If I leave one sitting on the ground too long, he’ll eventually destroy it. That’s not really the toy’s fault though. In some ways I actually like that they’re soft and flexible enough for him to comfortably carry around and chew on a little. Another thing I appreciate is that they’re washable. After a muddy or slobbery session I can just rinse them off and they’re good to go again. For an active dog that loves chase and fetch games, these have been excellent.

Very durable
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: Pack of 2
Awesome frisbee. Even if you don't have a dog! It's actually just nice to play with as people! Flies great. Left alone a dog with l can destroy it. It's not a chew toy, but it is a great game of fetch. Perfect size for medium and large dogs, plenty durable.
