薩剋雷(1811-1863),十九世紀英國著名小說傢,《名利場》是他的代錶作。
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.

評分 評分薩剋雷在十九世紀描繪瞭這幅浩浩蕩蕩的英國浮世繪,在這部沒有英雄的小說裏,隻有名利,權勢,金錢,還有為瞭追逐他們而喪失人性的眾生相,小說的語言一貫繼承瞭英國文學的幽默諷刺。小人物的命運被無情的投入到這個殘酷及現實的名利場中,用現實主義文學的力度赤裸裸的...
評分此書的英文版,是上年頭就買瞭。衝著楊必的名氣看瞭幾頁中文,覺得還可以,就買瞭英文版來讀。結果中途多次讀不下去,多次放下不想看,可是最後咬咬牙看完瞭。很少看小說看得那麼糾結鬱悶。 不少人對此書的贊譽很高,不過大部分都是看楊必的中文版。不得不說,的確翻譯得不錯...
