Capa do William Makepeace Thackeray: The Book of Snobs (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

Thackeray originated the modern meaning of the word “snob” in a series of essays for Punch magazine, the British humor periodical. Those essays are collected in this volume. With the organizational drive of a naturalist, Thackeray classifies the varied manifestations of snobbery in society—many of which remain all too common today.
