Synopsis "Il libro degli snobs (in Italian)"

Qual è davvero il significato della parola snob, che viene introdotta e illustrata da Thackeray nel 1846? Lui stesso sostiene che il significato non è preciso, ma che di fatto gli snobs sono dappertutto, e sono il veleno della "terra della libertà", l'Inghilterra. Il "Punch", giornale satirico dell'epoca, pubblicò 17 articoli di Thackeray sul tema, e la loro raccolta formò poi questo libro divertente, acuto, e appassionato. E, nonostante la differenza geografica e temporale, possiamo ancora oggi ben riconoscere i soggetti descritti, e, perché no, anche individuare in noi stessi tracce di questo veleno insinuante: lo snobismo. Questo consiste nel guardare ad altri come se fossero socialmente inferiori, ma anche, sostiene l'autore, come fossero superiori: lo snobismo intorbida le relazioni umane in entrambe le direzioni...Traduzione di Silvio Spaventa Filippi, 1917.

William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) was a British novelist, known for his sharp social satire and portrayal of the aristocracy and middle class in Victorian England. He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, but did not complete his education. After dabbling in journalism and illustration, he established himself as a writer with a style marked by humor and biting criticism of social hypocrisy.

Among his most notable works is Vanity Fair (1848), a social critique novel about ambition and hypocrisy in British society. He also wrote The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon (1844), which inspired Stanley Kubrick's film, and The History of Pendennis (1848-1850), a bildungsroman with autobiographical overtones. His literary legacy positions him as one of the great writers of the 19th century.
