  • Vanity Fair

    The Illustrated Gift Edition

    by William Makepeace Thackeray ...
    Series series The Gilded Library
    Becky Sharp leaves school by throwing the dictionary out of the carriage window and climbs, by charm and calculation, through a society that deserves her. Amelia Sedley is loyal past all sense. Thackeray called it a novel without a hero and meant it: the gaze is colder than Dickens's and considerably more adult. The Gilded Library volume carries full-page plates — ballrooms, the Waterloo ... Read more

  • Vanity Fair

    by William Makepeace Thackeray ...
    Series series Literary Classics
    Becky Sharp leaves school by throwing the dictionary out of the carriage window, and proceeds to climb through a society that deserves her. Thackeray subtitled it a novel without a hero and meant it: the good are dull, the charming are ruinous, and Waterloo is fought in a single sentence offstage while the wives wait in Brussels. He drew the original illustrations himself. ... Read more

  • The Fatal Boots

    by William Makepeace Thackeray ...
    Series series Comedy & Satire
    Twelve months in the life of Bob Stubbs, a swindler with no talent for it, told by himself: the boots he never paid for at school follow him through the militia, a courtship, a debtor's prison and back. Thackeray wrote it for a comic annual, one chapter to a month, and it is the earliest sight of the voice he would use in Barry Lyndon — a scoundrel who thinks he is the injured party. ... Read more

  • Barry Lyndon

    by William Makepeace Thackeray ...
    Series series Literary Classics
    An Irish adventurer tells the story of his own life — duels, cards, the Seven Years' War, and a marriage to a rich widow — and is a liar in every sentence. Thackeray lost his own inheritance at the tables and wrote this before Vanity Fair, letting the scoundrel narrate himself into the ground. Kubrick filmed it, slowly and beautifully, and only made the cruelty clearer. ... Read more
