Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

THE BOOK OF SNOBS (1848) by William Makepeace Thackeray is a masterpiece of British Victorian satire that spares no one, exposing every strata of society to the sublime ridicule that only the author of VANITY FAIR could dole out.

The term "snob" was popularized in unmatched fashion through the publication of this classic, part-fiction, part-essay exposé, and wholly a detail-rich portrait of its time.

Biografía del autor:

William Makepeace Thackeray was a nineteenth century English novelist who was most famous for his classic novel, Vanity Fair, a satirical portrait of English society. With an early career as a satirist and parodist, Thackeray shared a fondness for roguish characters that is evident in his early works such as Vanity Fair, The Luck of Barry Lyndon, and Catherine, and was ranked second only to Charles Dickens during the height of his career. In his later work, Thackeray transitioned from the satirical tone for which he was known to a more traditional Victorian narrative, the most notable of which is The History of Henry Esmond. Thackeray died in 1863.
