William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair depicts the anarchic anti-heroine Beky Sharpe cutting a swathe through the eligible young men of Europe, set against a lucid backdrop of war and international chaos. This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by John Carey.
No one is better equipped in the struggle for wealth and worldly success than the alluring and ruthless Becky Sharp, who defies her impoverished background to clamber up the class ladder. Her sentimental companion Amelia Sedley, however, longs only for the caddish soldier George. As the two heroines make their way through the tawdry glamour of Regency society, battles - military and domestic - are fought, fortunes made and lost. The one steadfast and honourable figure in this corrupt world is William Dobbin, devoted to Amelia, bringing pathos and depth to Thackeray's gloriously satirical epic of love and social adventure. Set against the background of the Napoleonic wars, Thackeray's 'novel without a hero' is a lively satirical journey through English society, exposing greed, snobbery and pretension.
This edition follows the text of Thackeray's revised edition of 1853. John Carey's introduction identifies Vanity Fair as a landmark in the development of European Realism, and as a reflection of Thackeray's passionate love for another man's wife.
William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) was born and educated to be a gentleman but gambled away much of his fortune while at Cambridge. He trained as a lawyer before turning to journalism. He was a regular contributor to periodicals and magazines and Vanity Fair was serialised in Punch in 1847-8. John Carey is Professor of English at Oxford University. He has written on Dickens and Thackeray.

評分社會百態,亙古不變。楊必的譯本也是值得與原文對比、深讀。
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...
評分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...
評分“名利场”按《现代汉语词典》的定义是指“指世人争名逐利的场所”。在外语教学与研究出版社出版的《汉英词典》中这个词只用“Vanity Fair”来对译是很不妥当的。英语中的“Vanity Fair”按《美国传统词典》的定义是:“A place or scene of ostentation or empty, idle amusem...
評分我看的那个版本很老了,是杨必先生翻译的,最近才知道她是杨绛的小妹妹,从杨绛的散文的回忆里可见杨必似乎终身未婚、性格开朗、打扮时髦、擅长模仿、很受疼爱,并且,做事认真。完成这本书的翻译之后,杨必的身体就垮了,后来再也没恢复,直到在某天夜晚的睡梦中悄悄去世。 难...
