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.

内容简介

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.

成功的秘诀是：「我不说任何人的不好！而说我所知道的每一个人的好处！」 就像上次那个团委老师所说的，在人见不着的地方更应该谈论他的优点，而不是缺点。在人面前不说坏话，人之常情，可贵在别人背后也不要说。谨记呐！ 许多精神错乱的人，在他疯癫中，找到了真实世界中所无法获得的自重感。以整体来讲，精神失常的人，似乎要比你我快乐。既然许多人以疯癫为快乐，他们为什么不这样呢？他们已经解决了他们的问题……。学会对自己说：这件事情只值得我担一点点心，没必要去操更多的心。 林肯认为：一个人实在没有时间把他的下半辈子花在争吵上，要是那个人不再攻击我，我就不会记他的仇。 获得心理平静的最大秘密之一，就是要有正确的价值观念。 减少财务烦恼的两种方法：第一，所借的钱，一定要如数奉还；第二，尝试任何新事物前，要先留一手能
