Publisher's Synopsis

The Diary of C. Jeames De La Pluche with His Letters is a satirical novel written by William Makepeace Thackeray. The book is a collection of fictional diary entries and letters written by the titular character, C. Jeames De La Pluche, a valet to a wealthy English nobleman. Through De La Pluche's writings, Thackeray satirizes the upper-class society of 19th century England, highlighting their vanity, hypocrisy, and superficiality. The book is divided into three parts, each covering a different period in De La Pluche's life, and features a cast of colorful characters, including other servants, aristocrats, and artists. Thackeray's sharp wit and biting commentary make The Diary of C. Jeames De La Pluche with His Letters a classic work of English literature and a must-read for anyone interested in satirical writing.""Merrits and vuttues such as his coodnt long pass unperseavd in the world.
