Book Synopsis A Shabby Genteel Story by : William Makepeace Thackeray
Book excerpt: In the title story, George Brandon, an impoverished gentleman, scorns the family he lodges with, but decides to amuse himself by attempting to seduce the daughters, ultimately setting his sights on the youngest. His casual amusement, however, ends with the very real threat of a duel. Self-delusion, snobbery, and an obsession with money are the underlying themes in this tale.
