名利場 Vanity Fair
書籍英文名：Vanity Fair
書籍中文名：名利場
書籍作者：威廉·梅克皮斯·薩克雷 William Makepeace Thackeray
書籍簡介：The classic by William Thackeray. “If she did not wish to lead a virtuous life, at least she desired to enjoy a character for virtue, and we know that no lady in the genteel world can possess this desideratum, until she has put on a train and feathers and has been presented to her Sovereign at Court. From that august interview they come out stamped as honest women. The Lord Chamberlain gives them a certificate of virtue.”
窮畫家的女兒蓓姬·夏普，自幼失去父母，但絕頂聰明。她以半工半讀的方式從寄宿學校畢業後，由一名家庭小教師起步，牢牢抓住每一個機會，削尖了腦袋鑽進維多利亞時代的上流社會，成為一顆光芒四射的交際明星。這一尤物的發跡歷程，在滑鐵盧戰役波瀾壯闊的歷史大背景映襯下，展現了堪稱世界文學中最成功的一個女冒險家藝術形象。薩克雷的詞鋒犀利，機智幽默，解剖人生精妙入微。本書問世將近一百六十年來，一直被譽為一面諷世明鏡、一部警世寶典。
