The Book of Snobs

<p><em>The Book of Snobs</em> 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.</p><p><br></p>
