In this satirical novel, Thackeray takes aim at the hypocrisy and snobbery of English society. The story follows the adventures of Philip Firmin, a young man who dreams of making his mark in the world, but is hampered by his lack of wealth and social status. Through a series of hilarious and often poignant misadventures, Philip learns the true value of friendship, love, and integrity. This edition also includes Thackeray's famous essay 'On Being Found Out, ' which explores the theme of deception in literature and life.
