<p>This vintage book contains the first volume of William Makepeace Thackeray's 1848 novel, "Pendennis." The story follows Arthur Pendennis, a young English gentleman who embarks on a journey to London in an attempt to find a place in life and society. As with Thackeray's other works, "Pendennis" furnishes an insightful and satiric picture of the human condition and of English aristocratic society more broadly. The chapters include: Shows how First Love may Interrupt Breakfast, A Pedigree and other Family Matters, Pendennis as a Very Young Man, Mrs. Haller, Mrs. Haller at Home, Contains both Love and War, In Which the Major makes His Appearance, In which Pen is Kept Waiting at the Door, while the Reader is Informed of Who Little Laura Was, etcetera. William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 - 1863) was an English novelist of the nineteenth century. He became famous for his satirical novels, the most important and influential of which was "Vanity Fair." Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author."</p>
