Vanity Fair pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
A marvelous, incisive social satire that gleefully exposes the greed and corruption raging in England during the turmoil of the Napoleonic wars through its tracing of the changing fortunes of two unforgettable women. It is a comic masterpiece that still resonates today.
"Re-reading Vanity Fair, one realises what a brilliant innovation this was in the English novel," remarked V. S. Pritchett. "Thackeray is like the modern novelists who derive from James and Proust, in his power of dissecting (and of desiccating!) character."
Generally considered to be his masterpiece, Vanity Fair is Thackeray's resplendent social satire that exposes the greed and corruption raging in England during the turmoil of the Napoleonic wars. Subtitled "A Novel Without a Hero," it traces the changing fortunes of two unforgettable women: the scheming opportunist Becky Sharp—one of literature's most resourceful, engaging, and amoral heroines—and her foil, the faithful, naive Amelia Sedley. Thackeray's subversive, comic attack on the hypocrisy and "dismal roguery" of an avaricious world resonates 150 years later with implications for our own times.
"Thackeray is an urbane nineteenth-century guide and commentator in a portrait gallery that is for all time," observed Louis Auchincloss. "He is the restless inhabitant of a prudish age, nostalgic, discursive, anecdotal, sentimental, worldly-wise, now warning us, now making fun of us, now reproving us .... Thackeray's harshest criticism of humanity is simply the point where ours commences. His perception of self-interest in every act is the ABC of modem psychology."
William Makepeace Thackeray (18111863) was born and educated to be a gentleman but gambled away much of his fortune. He was a regular contributor to periodicals and Vanity Fair was serialized in Punch in 18471848.
此书的英文版,是上年头就买了。冲着杨必的名气看了几页中文,觉得还可以,就买了英文版来读。结果中途多次读不下去,多次放下不想看,可是最后咬咬牙看完了。很少看小说看得那么纠结郁闷。 不少人对此书的赞誉很高,不过大部分都是看杨必的中文版。不得不说,的确翻译得不错...
评分爱米利亚是我论文的人物分析对象。为什么会选爱米利亚•赛特笠,而不是《名利场》中无论在样貌、口才、技能各个方面都更胜、更吸人眼球的利蓓加•夏泼呢? 因为爱米莉亚的性格实在是很有趣。《名利场》的作者萨克雷开篇就说了,这小姑娘“心地厚道,性格温柔可疼,为人又...
评分“名利场”按《现代汉语词典》的定义是指“指世人争名逐利的场所”。在外语教学与研究出版社出版的《汉英词典》中这个词只用“Vanity Fair”来对译是很不妥当的。英语中的“Vanity Fair”按《美国传统词典》的定义是:“A place or scene of ostentation or empty, idle amusem...
评分 评分都宾先生在全书结尾处,万念俱灰,放弃了追求了多年的爱人,不由得要拿席勒名诗《华伦斯坦》中的句子来安慰自己。刚才我一激动,也想拿这句话做签名,但是转念又想,华伦斯坦是何等人,配说这句话的我,现在大概还没出世。都宾倒是有五分资格来说这话,他亲历滑铁卢战役,一生...
