Adventures of Philip on His Way Through the World (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

“Shewing Who Robbed Him, Who Helped Him, and Who Passed Him By” is the subtitle of the last (1861-62) complete novel by the master English satirist. This semiautobiographical look back at the rollicking misadventures of a young heir is narrated by Thackeray’s alter-ego, the hero of his earlier coming-of-age novel Pendennis.
