Reseña del libro "The Christmas Books Of Mr. M.A. Titmarsh (en Inglés)"

"The Christmas Books of Mr. M.A. Titmarsh" is a collection of five Christmas-themed stories written by the British author William Makepeace Thackeray, who is best known for his satirical novels such as "Vanity Fair." The pseudonym "Mr. M.A. Titmarsh" was used by Thackeray for his lighter and more humorous works. These stories were published in various periodicals during the 1830s and 1840s and have been compiled into a single volume. The five Christmas stories included in this collection are: "Mrs. Perkins's Ball" (1847): This is a humorous tale set at a Christmas ball, focusing on the characters and social interactions during the event. Thackeray's wit and keen observations of human behavior are on full display in this story. "Our Street" (1848): In this story, the narrator takes readers on a tour of a London street during Christmastime, describing the various characters and their preparations for the holiday season. It's a charming and nostalgic exploration of Victorian Christmas traditions. "Doctor Birch and His Young Friends" (1848): This story is a continuation of Thackeray's earlier novel "The Book of Snobs." It features Dr. Birch, a headmaster, and a group of young students, and it satirizes the manners and pretensions of the upper classes. "The Kickleburys on the Rhine" (1850): This story follows the travel adventures of the Kicklebury family as they tour the Rhine River during the Christmas season. Thackeray uses the journey as an opportunity for humorous social commentary. "The Rose and the Ring" (1855): While not a Christmas story in the traditional sense, this fairy tale is included in the collection. It tells the story of a magical ring and the comical events that unfold when it comes into the possession of two young princes. The story is a delightful and imaginative departure from Thackeray's usual style. These stories offer a mix of humor, satire, and social commentary, reflecting the wit and storytelling skills for which Thackeray is known. While they may not be as famous as his major novels, "The Christmas Books of Mr. M.A. Titmarsh" provides readers with a glimpse into Thackeray's lighter, more festive side as he explores the holiday season and the quirks of human nature. The collection is a delightful addition to Victorian literature and remains a cherished part of Thackeray's literary legacy.
