具体描述
“I think I could be a good woman, if I had five thousand a year,” observes beautiful and clever Becky Sharp, one of the wickedest—and most appealing—women in all of literature. Becky is just one of the many fascinating figures that populate William Makepeace Thackeray’s novel Vanity Fair, a wonderfully satirical panorama of upper-middle-class life and manners in London at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
Scorned for her lack of money and breeding, Becky must use all her wit, charm and considerable sex appeal to escape her drab destiny as a governess. From London’s ballrooms to the battlefields of Waterloo, the bewitching Becky works her wiles on a gallery of memorable characters, including her lecherous employer, Sir Pitt, his rich sister, Miss Crawley, and Pitt’s dashing son, Rawdon, the first of Becky’s misguided sexual entanglements.
Filled with hilarious dialogue and superb characterizations, Vanity Fair is a richly entertaining comedy that asks the reader, “Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? or, having it, is satisfied?”
Features more than 100 illustrations drawn by Thackeray himself for the initial publication.

评分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...
评分英國十九世紀批判現實主義小說家薩克雷成名之作.故事主要描述英國中等階級,從鄙視一切商業的十足鄉紳氣派的大股東,到小本經紀得店掌柜以及律師手下的小書記. 英國在十九世紀前期成了強大的工業國,擴大可殖民地,加速了資本主義的發展.當時講究的是放任主義和自由競賽,富者愈富,...
