編輯推薦
The incomparable Miriam Margolyes applies her story-telling and histrionic gifts to this classic satire of two young English women, one bad but clever and the other good but stupid, who come to no good during the Napoleonic Wars. The abridgers have cut a bit too much at the expense of the characterizations. Although sounding somewhat forced, Margolyes, as always, gives an excellent performance.
Vanity Fair is a story of two heroines--one humber, the other scheming and social climbing--who meet inboarding school and embark on markedly different lives. Amid the swirl of London's posh ballrooms and affairs of love and war, their fortunes rise and fall. Through it all, Thackeray lampoons the shallow values of his society, reserving the most pointed barbs for the upper crust. What results is a prescient look at the dogged pursuit of wealth and status--and the need for humility.
內容簡介
A deliciously satirical attack on a money-mad society, Vanity Fair, which first appeared in 1847, is an immensely moral novel, and an immensely witty one. Called in its subtitle "A Novel Without a Hero," Vanity Fair has instead two heroines: the faithful, loyal Amelia Sedley and the beautiful and scheming social climber Becky Sharp. It also engages a huge cast of wonderful supporting characters as the novel spins from Miss Pinkerton's academy for young ladies to affairs of love and war on the Continent to liaisons in the dazzling ballrooms of London. Thackeray's forte is the bon mot and it is amply exercised in a novel filled with memorably wicked lines. Lengthy and leisurely in pace, the novel follows the adventures of Becky and Amelia as their fortunes rise and fall, creating a tale of both picaresque and risqué. Thackery mercilessly skewers his society, especially the upper class, poking fun at their shallow values and pointedly jabbing at their hypocritical "morals." His weapons, however, are not fire and brimstone but an unerring eye for the absurd and a genius for observation of the foibles of his age. An enduring classic, this great novel is a brilliant study in duplicity and hypocrisy…and a mirror with which to view our own times.

有時候我也在懷疑孫少平倒底是不是關係一族,畢竟他的工人資格也是靠通過彆人介紹的,也有虹霞的全力幫助,但是仔細一起,其實不是,這全是他自己爭取來的,如果他沒有那麼好的人品,如果他沒有那麼樸實那麼善良的心靈,曹書記會記得他嗎?會想把女作暗許於他嗎?會在有招工機會的時候急急地通知他嗎?這一切都是他自己贏來的,所以不管在哪人品永遠第一,一個不會做人的人同樣也不能漂亮的完成工作的。這也體現瞭人脈的力量。) 是的.他是在社會的最底層掙紮.為瞭幾個錢而受盡摺磨.但他已不僅僅將此看作是謀生活命——職業的高貴與低賤.不能說明一個人生活的價值.恰恰相反.他現在倒很”熱愛”自己的苦難.通過一段血火般的洗禮.他相信.自己曆盡韆辛萬苦而釀造齣的生活之蜜,肯定比輕而易舉拿來的更有滋味——他自嘲地把自己的這種認識叫做”關於苦難的學說….. 有文化.但沒有幸運地進入大學或參加工作.因此似乎沒有充分的條件直接參與到目前社會發展的主潮之中.而另一方麵,他們又不甘心把自己局限在狹小的生活天地裏.因此他們往往帶著一種悲壯的激情.在一條最為艱難的道路上進行人生的搏鬥.
