About This Novel
The dazzling British literature of the 19th century contributed a large number of famous works to the reading world. The masterpiece "Vanity Fair" by William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) deserves to occupy a very prominent position in this magnificent starry sky. Becky Sharp, the daughter of a poor painter, lost her parents when she was young, but she was extremely smart. After graduating from boarding school on a part-time basis, she started out as a tutor. She seized every opportunity, sharpened her head and got into the upper class society of the Victorian era, becoming a dazzling social star. The rise of this beauty, against the magnificent historical background of the Battle of Waterloo, presents the most successful artistic image of a female adventurer in world literature. Thackeray's words are sharp, witty and humorous, and his anatomy of life is subtle.
