  • 内容简介
  • 《名利场》是十九世纪英国批判现实主义作家威廉·萨克雷的成名之作。作者以圆熟泼辣的手笔,讲述了19世纪初期两位英国姑娘丽贝卡·夏普和阿梅利亚·塞得利在名利场中跌宕起伏、几经波折的经历,淋漓尽致地描绘了一幅十九世纪英国贵族资产阶级上层骄奢淫逸、勾心斗角的生活图景,无情地揭露了封建贵族荒淫无耻、腐朽堕落的本质和资产阶级追名逐利、尔虞我诈的虚伪面目。

    Vanity Fair is an English novel by William Makepeace Thackeray which follows the lives of Becky Sharp and Emmy Sedley amid their friends and families during and after the Napoleonic Wars. It satired the early 19th-century British society. It was published as a single volume in 1848 with the subtitle A Novel without a Hero, reflecting Thackeray's interest in deconstructing his era's conventions regarding literary heroism. It is sometimes considered the "principal founder" of the Victorian domestic novel.
