Autorenporträt
William Makepeace Thackeray was an English author and artist who lived from July 18, 1811, to December 24, 1863. Vanity Fair (1847-1848), a broad look at British society, and The Luck of Barry Lyndon (1844), which was turned into a movie by Stanley Kubrick in 1975, are two of his best-known humorous works. Thackeray was born in Calcutta, which is in British India. When his father died in 1815, he was sent to England. He went to a number of different schools and for a short time attended Trinity College, Cambridge, before moving to travel around Europe. Thackeray wasted a lot of his fortune on gambling and newspapers that didn't do well. To support his family, he became a journalist and mostly worked for Fraser's Magazine, The Times, and Punch. Thackeray's wife Isabella had a mental illness, so he was really a bachelor. Thackeray became famous for his book Vanity Fair and wrote other important works as well. In 1857, he ran for Parliament but lost, and in 1860, he edited the Cornhill Magazine. Thackeray's health got worse because he ate and drank too much and didn't move enough. He had a stroke and died at the age of 52.
