I like the name of the novel Vanity Fair and the subtitle A Novel without a Hero. That’s the reason why I choose to read this one. In some ways, I feel like Thackeray was trying to encompass his century as a whole, not just the very specific...
评分李嘉欣说,一开始的时候她并不知道她漂亮。 我想,这句话证明她是聪明而清醒的。 时装杂志采访她,问到可有看过亦舒写的印度墨,她答,不曾,我不看chick -lit(少女读物)。 亦舒谈起她,说法却是:那时她对我说,倪匡他不理解,我得生存下去啊。 ...

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,...

"Vanity Fair", Thackeray's panoramic, satirical saga of corruption at all levels of English society, was published in 1847 but set during the Napoleonic Wars. It chronicles the lives of two women who could not be more different: Becky Sharp, an orphan whose only resources are her vast ambitions, her native wit, and her loose morals; and her schoolmate Amelia Sedley, a typically naive Victorian heroine, the pampered daughter of a wealthy family. Becky's fluctuating fortunes eventually bring her to an affair with Amelia's dissolute husband; when he is killed at Waterloo, Amelia and her child are left penniless, while Becky and her husband Rawdon Crawley rise in the world, managing to lead a high life in London solely on the basis of their shrewdness.(The chapter entitled "How to Live on Nothing" is a classic.) Thackeray's subtitle, "A Novel Without a Hero," is understating the case; his view of humanity in this novel is distinctly bleak and deliberately antiheroic. Critics of the time misunderstood the book, decrying it as (among other things) vicious, vile, and odious. But "Vanity Fair" has endured as one of the great comic novels of all time, and a landmark in the history of realism in fiction.
