William Makepeace Thackeray

40K0

"Vanity Fair" is the representative work of William Makepeace Thackeray, a 19th-century British critical realist writer. The novel takes the lives of two young women, Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, as the main line, showing the life picture of the British upper class in the early 19th century. Thackeray vividly and vividly depicts the extravagant, lewd and intrigue life of the upper class of the British aristocratic bourgeoisie in the 19th century with his mature and pungent writing. At the same time, he ruthlessly exposes the shameless, decadent and depraved nature of the feudal aristocracy and the bourgeoisie's hypocritical pursuit of fame and fortune, as well as intrigues. The novel is grand in length, spectacular in scene, complex in plot, and in-depth in psychological portrayal. Its sharp and pungent satirical style is even more exciting. It is known as a satirical mirror and a warning book.

Thackeray's Classic Masterpiece: the Memories of Barry Lyndon 4 (english Version)

"Barry Lyndon Reminiscing" Thackeray's classic work was adapted into the movie "Children of Troubled Times" and won four film awards at the 48th Academy Awards. The work is in English, so English lovers should not miss it. The work tells the story of a poor young man in Ireland who has no future worth looking forward to. But in order to become a British aristocrat in the 18th century, Barry Lyndon, a gentlemanly young man, did everything he could, traveling between the battlefield and the aristocratic reception rooms. He used seduction, gambling, and duels to eventually make himself a nobleman. The work has great practical significance. Even when I read it today, it still has a profoundly inspiring effect. The novel is written in the first person and edited and published under the pseudonym of George Savage FitzBoodle. Thackeray based the novel on the real-life story of Irishman Anthony Robinson Stoney, who married (and soon divorced) Mary Eleanor Bowes, Countess of Strathmore, one of the ancestors of Queen Elizabeth II. It can be said that this is a classic IP that can be read frequently no matter what age it is read.

The work is in English, so English lovers should not miss it. As a literary work based on the reality of British society, the author uses unique artistic features and highly realistic brushwork to depict British social life in a real, vivid and natural way. The work uses vivid and true descriptions to show the criminal behavior in British social life, and also presents the dark social phenomena that are covered up and obscured in daily life in the form of a novel. The author uses a true and sharp writing style to vividly describe the various ugly faces of the British upper class in the early 19th century. The protagonist Catherine is one of the cultural symbols of British society. She embodies the tragedy of women's inability to control their own destiny in a specific historical era.

55K0

This is a classic work by the British novelist Thackeray. It is the sequel to "Henry Esmond" and was written between 1857 and 1859. The work is in English, so English lovers should not miss it. The work is set in England, partly in colonial Virginia, and tells the fate of the two twin grandsons of Englishman Henry Esmond. The novel unfolds through two main lines. One is set in Britain, where the pace of life was accelerating and the pursuit of fashion was at that time, and the other is set in the United States, where the war of domestic unification was ongoing. Differences arose between the brothers as they took opposing sides in the American Civil War. In addition, the article also provides a subtle commentary on the Civil War and the differences between the two sides. Thackeray ruthlessly displays the reality of life with the wit, humor and even cynical attitude unique to British educated gentlemen. He is the inheritance and development of the British satirical novel tradition pioneered by Swift, Fielding, Sterne and others in the 18th century.
