In this volume we examine some of the short stories of William Makepeace Thackeray. The great author of Vanity Fair and The Luck of Barry Lyndon was born in India in 1811. At age five his father died, and his mother sent him back to England. His education was of the best, but he himself seemed unable to apply his talents to a rigorous work ethic. After a few years of marriage his wife began to suffer from depression and over the years became detached from reality.

Originally serialized in Frasers Magazine in 1844 as The Luck of Barry Lyndon, William Makepeace Thackerays The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq is a captivating picaresque novel narrated—sometimes charmingly, always with a hint of unreliability—by Redmond Barry, a member of the 18th-century Irish gentry. This tale chronicles his dramatic rise to the heights of English aristocracy and his equally inevitable fall from grace. Filled with romantic escapades, military exploits, and political intrigue, the narrative intertwines satire and pathos. Interludes of editorial commentary from ...

Qual è davvero il significato della parola snob, che viene introdotta e illustrata da Thackeray nel 1846? Lui stesso sostiene che il significato non è preciso, ma che di fatto gli snobs sono dappertutto, e sono il veleno della “terra della libertà”, l’Inghilterra.Il “Punch”, giornale satirico dell’epoca, pubblicò 17 articoli di Thackeray sul tema, e la loro raccolta formò poi questo libro divertente, acuto, e appassionato.

The History of Henry Esmond tells the story of the early life of Henry Esmond, a colonel in the service of Queen Anne of England. A typical example of Victorian historical novels, Thackeray's work of historical fiction tells its tale against the backdrop of late 17th- and early 18th-century England — specifically, major events surrounding the English Restoration — and utilizes characters both real (but dramatized) and imagined.

Story2
Vanity Fair is a satirical novel of manners which takes place during, and in the decade after, the battle of Waterloo in 1815. The various scenes in the novel range across Europe and England. It was first published in serial form beginning in 1847. The work is by turns witty, scintillating, brutally realistic, tragic, humorous, and always fascinating. The title of the book stems from Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress”, where Vanity is a town along the pilgrim’s route, and which holds an eternal fair of the vanities. It is a place where people are ensnared by worldly things.

In Pendennis, William Makepeace Thackeray skillfully shows the coming of age of Arthur Pendennis, a young gentleman trying to make his way in the world. Pen's difficulties in finding his place in the difficult maze of social obstacles are created to some extent by his being raised in the country and being from an ancient though impoverished family. We follow his course from the village in which he was raised via Oxbridge to London, meeting the most memorable characters, falling in and out of love, navigating the difficulties of society, and hopefully finally arriving at a happy end.

Die Figuren, die diesen Jahrmarkt bevölkern, sind die Mitglieder jener Gesellschaft, die im viktorianischen Zeitalter noch ein festumrissener Begriff war. Der Autor leuchtete hinter die Fassade des sich so edel gebärdenden Jahrmarkts und zeigt, dass auch hier "wahre Gentlemen" vielleicht seltener zu finden sind, als mancher denkt. Das Hörspiel, das auf dem Roman "Vanity Fair" (deutscher Titel: "Jahrmarkt der Eitelkeiten") beruht, enthält die fünf Hörspielfolgen.

Thackeray, à travers son personnage domestique, fustige avec ironie la société britannique de son temps, et en particulier l'aristocratie de naissance, classe supérieure souvent trop désargentée pour tenir son rang par des moyens honnêtes, mais toujours adulée par l'homme du peuple. Vanité, cupidité et snobisme sont les causes principales des maux qui s'abattent sur les personnages, lesquels, dans leur dégénérescente confusion, perdent toute conscience des valeurs morales.
