William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair depicts the anarchic anti-heroine Beky Sharpe cutting a swathe through the eligible young men of Europe, set against a lucid backdrop of war and international chaos. This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by John Carey.

No one is better equipped in the struggle for wealth and worldly success than the alluring and ruthless Becky Sharp, who defies her impoverished background to clamber up the class ladder. Her sentimental companion Amelia Sedley, however, longs only for the caddish soldier George. As the two heroines make their way through the tawdry glamour of Regency society, battles - military and domestic - are fought, fortunes made and lost. The one steadfast and honourable figure in this corrupt world is William Dobbin, devoted to Amelia, bringing pathos and depth to Thackeray's gloriously satirical epic of love and social adventure. Set against the background of the Napoleonic wars, Thackeray's 'novel without a hero' is a lively satirical journey through English society, exposing greed, snobbery and pretension.

This edition follows the text of Thackeray's revised edition of 1853. John Carey's introduction identifies Vanity Fair as a landmark in the development of European Realism, and as a reflection of Thackeray's passionate love for another man's wife.

一本好书的标准在我这里就是放诸四海皆准:这故事剥去表面浮华,放在任何时代、任何国度都是一个活生生的故事——这就是本好书。       《名利场》便如此:任何时候、任何国家都有贫富分化,没人能一辈子一帆风顺,贫家小户的姑娘想要出人头地,中产阶级想要结识真正的...

I like the name of the novel Vanity Fair and the subtitle A Novel without a Hero. That’s the reason why I choose to read this one. In some ways, I feel like Thackeray was trying to encompass his century as a whole, not just the very specific...

爱米利亚是我论文的人物分析对象。为什么会选爱米利亚•赛特笠,而不是《名利场》中无论在样貌、口才、技能各个方面都更胜、更吸人眼球的利蓓加•夏泼呢? 因为爱米莉亚的性格实在是很有趣。《名利场》的作者萨克雷开篇就说了,这小姑娘“心地厚道,性格温柔可疼,为人又...

好书 但是我不是特别喜欢

社会百态,亘古不变。杨必的译本也是值得与原文对比、深读。

作为小说平庸,对于民俗学家历史学家讽刺家更有可读之处。Amelia和Dobbin终成眷属是因为他们都同样愚蠢,而像Becky这样独立强大的女性却因为出身问题而不得不扭曲自己的野心,成为Vanity Fair割舍不掉又欲除之后快的牺牲品
