Among the vibrant cast of characters who scheme and scramble for life's prizes in this entertaining saga, no one is better equipped than Becky Sharp, Thackeray's supreme creation. Brilliant, alluring, and ruthless, she defies her poverty-stricken background to climb the social ladder, while her sentimental companion Amelia longs only for caddish soldier George. As the two heroines make their way through the tawdry glamour of English society during the Napoleonic wars, military and domestic battles are fought and fortunes are made and lost. Amid the fast-paced comic action stands Dobbin, a true gentleman in a corrupt world, whose unrequited love for Amelia brings pathos and depth to Thackeray's epic satire.
This edition includes a new introduction, a chronology of Thackeray's life and works, a select reading list, and an appendix containing parodic material Thackeray cut from the 1853 edition.

评分一本好书的标准在我这里就是放诸四海皆准:这故事剥去表面浮华,放在任何时代、任何国度都是一个活生生的故事——这就是本好书。 《名利场》便如此:任何时候、任何国家都有贫富分化,没人能一辈子一帆风顺,贫家小户的姑娘想要出人头地,中产阶级想要结识真正的...
