The Book of Snobs

The Book of Snobs by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 1848, is a satirical work that humorously critiques the British class system and the pretensions of various social groups. Through a series of sketches, Thackeray dissects the behaviors of ＂snobs＂-people obsessed with social status and wealth-exposing the absurdity and hypocrisy within different layers of society. Written with sharp wit, the book remains a classic of social satire, reflecting Thackeray’s keen observations of human nature and Victorian society.
