A marvelous, incisive social satire that gleefully exposes the greed and corruption raging in England during the turmoil of the Napoleonic wars through its tracing of the changing fortunes of two unforgettable women. It is a comic masterpiece that still resonates today.
"Re-reading Vanity Fair, one realises what a brilliant innovation this was in the English novel," remarked V. S. Pritchett. "Thackeray is like the modern novelists who derive from James and Proust, in his power of dissecting (and of desiccating!) character."
Generally considered to be his masterpiece, Vanity Fair is Thackeray's resplendent social satire that exposes the greed and corruption raging in England during the turmoil of the Napoleonic wars. Subtitled "A Novel Without a Hero," it traces the changing fortunes of two unforgettable women: the scheming opportunist Becky Sharp—one of literature's most resourceful, engaging, and amoral heroines—and her foil, the faithful, naive Amelia Sedley. Thackeray's subversive, comic attack on the hypocrisy and "dismal roguery" of an avaricious world resonates 150 years later with implications for our own times.
"Thackeray is an urbane nineteenth-century guide and commentator in a portrait gallery that is for all time," observed Louis Auchincloss. "He is the restless inhabitant of a prudish age, nostalgic, discursive, anecdotal, sentimental, worldly-wise, now warning us, now making fun of us, now reproving us .... Thackeray's harshest criticism of humanity is simply the point where ours commences. His perception of self-interest in every act is the ABC of modem psychology."

评分此书的英文版，是上年头就买了。冲着杨必的名气看了几页中文，觉得还可以，就买了英文版来读。结果中途多次读不下去，多次放下不想看，可是最后咬咬牙看完了。很少看小说看得那么纠结郁闷。 不少人对此书的赞誉很高，不过大部分都是看杨必的中文版。不得不说，的确翻译得不错...

评分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...
