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.

多年以后,我还会记得2011年这个春节。除了第一次到我们新房来的未来的丈母娘和小舅子、大姨子一家留下的印象外,还有这本厚达708页的书——《名利场》。 这本书我听说了很久,第一印象是喜欢这个书名。(我很相信,如今美国那本同名的时尚杂志恐怕就是根据这本书名来起的杂...

都宾先生在全书结尾处,万念俱灰,放弃了追求了多年的爱人,不由得要拿席勒名诗《华伦斯坦》中的句子来安慰自己。刚才我一激动,也想拿这句话做签名,但是转念又想,华伦斯坦是何等人,配说这句话的我,现在大概还没出世。都宾倒是有五分资格来说这话,他亲历滑铁卢战役,一生...

“名利场”按《现代汉语词典》的定义是指“指世人争名逐利的场所”。在外语教学与研究出版社出版的《汉英词典》中这个词只用“Vanity Fair”来对译是很不妥当的。英语中的“Vanity Fair”按《美国传统词典》的定义是:“A place or scene of ostentation or empty, idle amusem...

萨克雷在十九世纪描绘了这幅浩浩荡荡的英国浮世绘,在这部没有英雄的小说里,只有名利,权势,金钱,还有为了追逐他们而丧失人性的众生相,小说的语言一贯继承了英国文学的幽默讽刺。小人物的命运被无情的投入到这个残酷及现实的名利场中,用现实主义文学的力度赤裸裸的...
