Vanity Fair

Step into the glittering and deceitful world of early 19th-century English society in this sprawling novel. Following the lives of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, the two women navigate their way through a society obsessed with wealth, status, and social climbing. Becky, ambitious and resourceful, stops at nothing to ascend the social ladder, while Amelia, gentle and naive, grapples with love and loss amid the tumult of the Napoleonic Wars.

William Thackeray's sharp wit and keen observations lay bare the hypocrisies and moral ambiguities of his characters, from aristocrats to scheming social climbers. Set against the backdrop of historical events, Vanity Fair offers a panoramic view of London's high society during an era fraught with conflict.

WILLIAM THACKERAY [1811-1863] was one of Victorian England’s most prominent authors. Among his most famous works are Vanity Fair [1847-1848] and The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. [1844].
