Sobre este audiolivro

This humorous diagnosis of the Victorian social psyche identifies and classifies the "snob" in all their various forms. Originally serialized in Punch, these sketches relentlessly mock the British obsession with hierarchy, deference to titles, and the affectations of the upwardly mobile. Thackeray writes with a biting irony that exposes the universal human tendency to look down on others while desperately trying to look up. It is a witty, scathing, and uncomfortably accurate field guide to the pretenses of polite society.
