Description

A story of English society during the Napoleonic wars. Through a free-wheeling melee of brilliant improvisations sail Becky Sharp, a resourceful, engaging and amoral character, and Amelia Sedley, her less lustrous but more ambiguous foil.

Author description

William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-63) was a master of both satire and the novel. Vanity Fair is undoubtedly his masterpiece, a strikingly original novel.
