VERY ENTERTAINING BOOK WITH CONTRRIBUTIONS TO PUNCH. FOR THE THACKERAY LOVER. Punch, or The London Charivari was a British weekly magazine of humour and satire established in 1841 by Henry Mayhew and wood-engraver Ebenezer Landells. Historically, it was most influential in the 1840s and 1850s, when it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration. From 1850, John Tenniel was the chief cartoon artist at the magazine for over 50 years. William Makepeace Thackeray ( 18 July 1811 24 December 1863) was an English novelist, author and illustrator, who was born in India. He is known for his satirical works, particularly his 1848 novel Vanity Fair, a panoramic portrait of British society, and the 1844 novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon, which was adapted for a 1975 film by Stanley Kubrick.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Good. DARK BLUE-GREEN COVER WITH DESIGN FRONT AND GOLD PRINT SPINE. SLIGHT WEAR AROUND EDGES. 80 SECTIONS, 30 ILLUSTRATIONS. VERY INTERESTING DETAILED BOOK. TIGHT AND CLEAN INSIDE. The History of Pendennis: His Fortunes and Misfortunes, His Friends and His Greatest Enemy (184850) is a novel by the English aut…hor William Makepeace Thackeray. It is set in 19th-century England, particularly in London. The main hero is a young English gentleman Arthur Pendennis, who is born in the country and sets out for London to seek his place in life and society. The novel took two years for Thackeray to write and, in line with other Thackeray's works, most notably Vanity Fair, it offers an insightful and satiric picture of human character and aristocratic society. The characters include the snobbish social hanger-on Major Pendennis and the tipsy Captain Costigan. Miss Amory and Sir Francis Clavering are somewhat reminiscent of Becky Sharp and Sir Pitt from Vanity Fair.
