"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.
萨克雷(1811-1863),十九世纪英国著名小说家,《名利场》是他的代表作。
人性的确如此,既轻信又爱怀疑
评分英文原版被我读了一半之后很不厚道地故意留在家里了……T_T
评分很幽默犀利的小说,可惜因为懒,还差几页,一直没读完
评分买的是上外出版社版本,可惜没找到。 很厚很厚的书,很佩服自己居然就这么一天一天把书读完了,再唏嘘一下,生活不过就是一个舞台,一个vanity fair. All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely its players.
评分记不得是什么封面了。反正豆瓣上这些都不是。真的很受不了这本书,结构那么散乱,说什么描述了社会全景,没觉得。那么一段一段的,只有事后分析才有意思,当时看就一个字,烦!
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...
评分 评分一、 年青时读红楼梦,会想,做老婆的话,林黛玉好,还是薛宝钗好。 当时不理解曹雪芹。我的心里是偏向宝钗的。 宝钗多好呀,漂亮、聪明、脾气好,群众基础也好。 黛玉有什么好的,身体不好,干不了家务,脾气又坏,嘴巴尖酸,还动不动就哭。我最讨厌爱哭的女生了。 年青的时候...
评分上一次在读显示2010年4月,时隔8年,再开炉灶,攻克了这本英文完整版。 故事两个女主角,一生起起伏伏,宛如两条抛物线,一条经过峰巅回到原点,一条跌入谷底重返往日。半生浮华半世空,一朝天子一朝臣。钱真是个好东西,无论你以前是贵族还是平民,是王权还是罪犯,只要窃得一...
