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.

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...

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...

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
