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.

莎士比亚在其名著《李尔王》中写道:“请略为改进你的言语,否则它会毁坏你的前程。”可见语言修养和语言礼貌问题自古以来即为人所重视。在礼貌语言中称呼是一个十分重要的问题。以汉语的“先生”为例,在解放前用得很普遍,解放后有一段时期,特别在老解放区,它几乎被“同志”所取代。被称呼为“先生”的人曾给人以统战对象的味道。但是现在“先生”的称呼又有重新用开的趋势,特别是在学术界称呼年长的人时,叫“同志”显得不大礼貌,还是用“先生”的时候多。“先生”的内部形式原本是先出生的人的意思。《诗经》里“先生如达”中的“先生”就是指头生之子,等于现代汉语中的“头生”。《论语·为政》“有酒食,先生馔”中的“先生”则指“父兄”。《礼记·曲礼》“从于先生”中的“先生”则指“老师”。晋朝《列子·力命》“先生止矣,予不敢复言”中,就已经跟现代汉语一样,泛用为对人的敬称了。
