Thackeray, E-bok
Originally published in 1879 in the first series of 'English Men of Letters', 'Thackeray' by Anthony Trollope is an in depth look at the author William Makepeace Thackeray. The pair were close friends, and so 'Thackeray' is an intimate and personal overview of his life and career, allowing the reader to get to know the man behind the novels. Thackeray’s most enduring success is perhaps 'Vanity Fair', much adapted for TV, radio and film audiences, with adaptations starring famous names such as Reese Witherspoon, Michael Palin and Stephen Fry. A fascinating study of one of the most successful authors of the period, written by another.Anthony Trollope (1815 – 1882) was a Victorian writer and author of 47 novels. He also wrote an autobiography, short stories and plays, travel articles, reviews and lectures. A prolific writer, he made no secret of the fact that money was his motivation for writing – an admission which raised eyebrows among his literary contemporaries at the time. The amount of works Trollope authored are testament to his belief in hard work. His first successful novel was The Warden followed by its sequel, Barchester Towers. The Chronicles of Barsetshire are perhaps his most well-known series of novels, though many of his works have been adapted for TV and radio, starring many familiar faces such as Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Bill Nighy and Tom Hollander. Alongside his literary career, Trollope also worked for some time for the Post Office and is credited with the introduction of the iconic post box to Britain. A memorial to Anthony Trollope was unveiled in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey in 1993.

The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq., E-bok
Redmond Barry, a spirited young Irishman, embarks on an ambitious journey through 18th-century Europe. Starting from his rural roots in Ireland, he sets his sights on the heights of aristocratic society. Through a series of calculated moves and fortunate encounters, Barry navigates the complexities of courtship and social climbing. His path intertwines with historical events and influential figures, shaping his rise from obscurity to prominence. Yet, beneath the veneer of glamour and success, Barry's journey is fraught with personal sacrifices and moral compromises. William Thackeray's narrative skillfully unfolds Barry Lyndon's saga with a blend of satire and insight into human nature. Through Barry's adventures and misadventures, Thackeray examines the allure of social status and the moral dilemmas faced by those who pursue it relentlessly. WILLIAM THACKERAY [1811-1863] was one of Victorian England’s most prominent authors. Among his most famous works are Vanity Fair [1847-1848] and The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. [1844].

Fåfängans Marknad, Bd 2, En Roman Utan Någon Hjälte
Denna berättelse från 1800-talets England bjuder på allt man önska sig av en modern klassiker: två unga kvinnor med intresse för samma man, en sträng och färgrik tidsbild och en berättare på skarpaste humör. Amalia växer upp i en välbärgad och beskyddande familj. Hon underkastar sig konventionerna medan hennes vän Rebecka är medellös och tvingas lita på sin list och hänsynslöshet. Deras väg kantas av olyckor och vågspel och de tvingas att ta de chanser som finns i det brutala samhälle de lever i. Där härskar en uppsluppen kommers driven av girighet och materialistiska begär som tillsammans med napoleontidens storpolitiska inverkningar sliter genom huvudpersonernas öden. Thackerays berättare antar rollen som presentatör och observatör tillsammans med läsaren med en blick både för det stora dramat i varje människoöde och drivkrafter som leder och missleder dem. När Charlotte Brontë dedikerade sin roman Jane Eyre till den beundrade Thackeray så var det inte minst för hans satir över det exploaterande och patriarkala samhället i Fåfängans marknad. William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) var en av sin tids främsta författare och skildrare av sin tid. Med skarp satir i den anglosaxiska traditionen genomskådade han det viktorianska samhället och dess marknad av människor och varor samtidigt som han undgår att moralisera över dess invånare. Han är mest känd för Vanity fair som blivit en klassiker, men också berättelsen om äventyraren Barry Lyndon, som filmatiserats med stor framgång. No. 14 på tidningen The Guardians lista över de bästa engelskspråkiga böckerna någonsin. -
