Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thackeray´s Lighter Hours: Being Selections From the Minor Writings of William Makepeace Thackeray There is something whimsical, one must confess, about the suggestion of a pocket Thackeray. A collection of the great scenes in his novels might easily be made, but your lover of Thackeray carries these scenes through the world with him without ever burdening his pockets. Besides, even the great scenes have less to do with our sense of Thackeray´s command of his art than the countless little scenes, inextricably interwoven, which make up the texture of his human comedy. But, impossible as it is to give any adequate representation of the novelist in such a series of books as the present one, it is quite possible to show something of the caustic and kindly humor, the careless, inevitable grace, which give Thackery´s minor writings such a note of distinction. Even the most fugitive of his rollicking burlesques is written as no one else could have written it, while "The Book of Snobs" and the "Roundabout Papers" are masterpieces of their kind.
