Bag om The Book Of Snobs, Etc., Etc. (1892)

The Book of Snobs, Etc., Etc. is a satirical work by the renowned British author, William Makepeace Thackeray, originally published in 1892. The book is a collection of essays and sketches that explore the social phenomenon of snobbery in Victorian England. Thackeray, who was himself a member of the upper class, uses his wit and humor to expose the absurdity and pretensions of the snobbish behavior he observed in his society.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the general concept of snobbery, while the second part delves into specific examples of snobbery in different contexts, such as literature, politics, and the arts. Thackeray's writing is characterized by his sharp observations and his ability to poke fun at the foibles and vanities of his fellow upper-class citizens.The Book of Snobs, Etc., Etc. is not only a humorous and entertaining read, but also a valuable historical document that provides insight into the social attitudes and customs of Victorian England. Thackeray's work remains relevant today, as snobbery and social hierarchies continue to be a part of modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
