Vanity Fair

En savoir plus sur le livre

Vanity Fair is among the richest and most entertaining of novels, a sparkling and witty story of English society during the Napoleonic wars. A piecing satire of the Victorian middle classes, it was hugely popular from the moment of its first publication in 1847. The narrative follows two contrasting young women, the flighty and enterprising Becky Sharp and her more upright counter part Amelia Sedley. Their adventures take them from Miss Pinkerton academy in Chiswick to the glamour of high society in London and Paris.
