"Vanity Fair", Thackeray's panoramic, satirical saga of corruption at all levels of English society, was published in 1847 but set during the Napoleonic Wars. It chronicles the lives of two women who could not be more different: Becky Sharp, an orphan whose only resources are her vast ambitions, her native wit, and her loose morals; and her schoolmate Amelia Sedley, a typically naive Victorian heroine, the pampered daughter of a wealthy family. Becky's fluctuating fortunes eventually bring her to an affair with Amelia's dissolute husband; when he is killed at Waterloo, Amelia and her child are left penniless, while Becky and her husband Rawdon Crawley rise in the world, managing to lead a high life in London solely on the basis of their shrewdness.(The chapter entitled "How to Live on Nothing" is a classic.) Thackeray's subtitle, "A Novel Without a Hero," is understating the case; his view of humanity in this novel is distinctly bleak and deliberately antiheroic. Critics of the time misunderstood the book, decrying it as (among other things) vicious, vile, and odious. But "Vanity Fair" has endured as one of the great comic novels of all time, and a landmark in the history of realism in fiction.

评分李嘉欣说,一开始的时候她并不知道她漂亮。 我想,这句话证明她是聪明而清醒的。 时装杂志采访她,问到可有看过亦舒写的印度墨,她答,不曾,我不看chick -lit(少女读物)。 亦舒谈起她,说法却是:那时她对我说,倪匡他不理解,我得生存下去啊。 ...
评分我看的那个版本很老了,是杨必先生翻译的,最近才知道她是杨绛的小妹妹,从杨绛的散文的回忆里可见杨必似乎终身未婚、性格开朗、打扮时髦、擅长模仿、很受疼爱,并且,做事认真。完成这本书的翻译之后,杨必的身体就垮了,后来再也没恢复,直到在某天夜晚的睡梦中悄悄去世。 难...

评分英文原版里读的最慢的一本了,可能是习惯了快餐文化,总觉的好拖沓。句式也是不简练。
