«The Book of Snobs» is a collection of social satires by William Makepeace Thackeray, published by Blurb in hardcover (240 pages, in English).
A satirical compilation that ironically portrays snobbery in Victorian England: from those who imitate the aristocracy to those who despise others for being socially inferior, exposing the pretensions and false appearances of the era.
The work was originally published in 1848, serialized in Punch magazine as «The Snobs of England, By One of Themselves».
Intended for readers of Victorian satire and social criticism of 19th-century England.
William Makepeace Thackeray was an English novelist and illustrator. He is known for his satirical works, particularly his 1847–1848 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.
