Sobre IBD

This collection of satirical essays and short stories presents the fictional memoirs of George Savage Fitz-Boodle, a dandy and social observer. Thackeray, with his characteristic wit and keen social commentary, uses Fitz-Boodle to critique the manners, affectations, and pretensions of British high society. Through these humorous and often biting sketches, Thackeray exposes the absurdities of class and social ambition in 19th-century England.
