Divided into three sections--\"The Ravenswing\"; \"Mr. and Mrs. Frank Berry\"; and \"Dennis Haggarty's Wife\"--Men's Wives satirizes the married lives of England's elite. In \"Ravenswing,\" a novella, Captain Walker meets a beautiful young woman named Morgiana Crump. The daughter of an eccentric hotelier and a retired actress, Miss Crump is being prepared for marriage by her overeager parents. Struggling to compete with the countless suitors constantly crowding Miss Crump, Walker, an officer and a gentlemen, grows progressively disheartened. \"Mr. and Mrs. Frank Berry\" is a two-part story following one man from youth to adulthood. A fighter in his schoolboy days, Mr. Frank Berry is now a married man. When a chance encounter in Versailles reunites him with some old friends, however, his wife begins to fear that her husband is not yet ready to settle down. \"Dennis Haggarty's Wife\" is a short story tracing the journey from repulsion to marriage between a snobbish protestant Irishwoman and the Irishman she marries despite his Catholic heritage. Throughout Men's Wives, a humorous collection of stories on marriages mostly disastrous, Thackeray effectively satirizes the lives and loves of his nation's elite. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Makepeace Thackeray's Men's Wives is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eWilliam Makepeace Thackeray, Mint Editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eMint Editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMarch 02, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e164 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1513271997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781513271996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mint Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49141760983345,"sku":"9781513271996","price":11.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781513271996__01607_8dfb1f71-d0b2-4697-900e-79a0d099b896.jpg?v=1716125962","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781513271996","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
