The Kickleburys Abroad is a satirical novel by William Makepeace Thackeray that follows the travels of a wealthy British family as they tour Europe. The novel is a commentary on the frivolous and superficial nature of upper-class tourism in the mid-19th century.A Legend of the Rhine is a short story by Thackeray that tells the tale of a young Englishman who falls in love with a beautiful German girl while traveling along the Rhine River. The story is a romantic and humorous take on the cultural differences between England and Germany.Rebecca and Rowena is a retelling of the classic novel Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. Thackeray's version focuses on the two female characters, Rebecca and Rowena, and their relationships with the male protagonists, Ivanhoe and Cedric. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and honor.The Second Funeral of Napoleon is a satirical essay by Thackeray that imagines a second funeral for Napoleon Bonaparte, who had died in exile on the island of Saint Helena. Thackeray uses the occasion to poke fun at the cult of personality that had grown up around Napoleon and to criticize the political and social conditions of mid-19th century Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
