In The Book of Snobs, William Makepeace Thackeray delivers a witty and incisive satire exposing the pervasive snobbery of Victorian society. Through a series of sharp, humorous sketches, he dissects the pretensions of the upper classes, the social climbers, and even the self-righteous middle class, revealing how vanity, affectation, and obsession with rank corrupt genuine human values. Narrated by the fictional “Snob Club” member, the work blends irony and moral critique, urging readers to recognize and reject the shallow hierarchies that define social interaction. Thackeray’s keen eye and biting prose make this 1848 classic a timeless commentary on human folly and the absurdities of class distinction. Duration - 6h 17m. Author - William Makepeace Thackeray.
