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.
William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) was born and educated to be a gentleman but gambled away much of his fortune while at Cambridge. He trained as a lawyer before turning to journalism. He was a regular contributor to periodicals and magazines and Vanity Fair was serialised in Punch in 1847-8. John Carey is Professor of English at Oxford University. He has written on Dickens and Thackeray.
社會百態,亙古不變。楊必的譯本也是值得與原文對比、深讀。
評分Like his sarcasm. But still did not read to the end. I can’t believe he and Dickens are contemporaries.
評分作為小說平庸,對於民俗學傢曆史學傢諷刺傢更有可讀之處。Amelia和Dobbin終成眷屬是因為他們都同樣愚蠢,而像Becky這樣獨立強大的女性卻因為齣身問題而不得不扭麯自己的野心,成為Vanity Fair割捨不掉又欲除之後快的犧牲品

“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...
評分 評分上一次在读显示2010年4月,时隔8年,再开炉灶,攻克了这本英文完整版。 故事两个女主角,一生起起伏伏,宛如两条抛物线,一条经过峰巅回到原点,一条跌入谷底重返往日。半生浮华半世空,一朝天子一朝臣。钱真是个好东西,无论你以前是贵族还是平民,是王权还是罪犯,只要窃得一...
評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...
評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...
