Sinopsis
A prolific writer, made most famous by his writing Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeraywas considered second only to Dickens when he was alive. A witty satirist, he mocked the Victorian era with a light hand and good humor: "O house, you are inhabited—0 knocker, you are knocked at—O undressed flunkey, sunning your lazy calves as you lean against the iron railings, you are paid—by Snobs."
