Jeames's Diary: A Legend Of The Rhine And Rebecca And Rowena is a novel by the renowned British author, William Makepeace Thackeray. Originally published in 1853, the book is a satirical work that pokes fun at the popular romantic literature of the time. The novel is written in the form of a diary kept by Jeames de la Pluche, a valet to a wealthy Englishman who travels to the Rhine region of Germany. Jeames is a comic character who is obsessed with his own status and constantly boasts about his connections and accomplishments. As Jeames travels through Germany, he encounters a variety of characters, including a group of English tourists and a beautiful German countess named Ottilia. He also becomes embroiled in a love triangle between two women, Rebecca and Rowena, who are both vying for his affections. Throughout the novel, Thackeray uses Jeames's diary entries to satirize the conventions of romantic literature, as well as the pretensions and foibles of the British upper class. The book is filled with witty observations and humorous anecdotes, making it a delightful read for fans of Thackeray's work or anyone interested in 19th century literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
