編輯推薦
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.
內容簡介
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.

發貨及物流超快,第二天到貨 我在網上買的幾本書送到瞭。取書的時候,忽然想起一傢小書店,就在我們大院對麵的街上,以前我常去,書店的名字毫無記憶,但店裏的女老闆我很熟,每次需要什麼書都先給她打電話說好,晚上散步再去取。我們像朋友一樣聊天,她還時常替讀者找我簽名。可是,自從學會從網上購書後,我再也沒去過她那裏瞭,今天忽然想起她,晚上散步到她那裏,她要我教她在網上買書,這就是幫她在京東上買瞭這本書。好瞭,廢話不說。好瞭,我現在來說說這本書的觀感吧,網絡文學融入主流文學之難,在於文學批評傢的缺席,在於衡量標準的混亂,很長一段時間,文學批評傢對網絡文學集體失語,直到最近一兩年來,諸多活躍於文學批評領域的評論傢,纔開始著手建立網絡文學的評價體係,很難得的是,他們迅速掌握瞭網絡文學的魅力內核,並對網絡文學給予瞭高度評價、寄予瞭很深的厚望。隨著網絡文學理論體係的建立,以及網絡文學在創作水準上的不斷提高,網絡文學成為主流文學中的主流已是清晰可見的事情,下一屆的“五個一工程奬”,我們期待看到更多網絡文學作品的入選。寶貝非常不錯,和圖片上描述的完全吻閤,絲毫不差,無論色澤還是哪些方麵,都十分讓我覺得應該稱贊較好,完美! 書是正品,很不錯!速度也快,絕對的好評,下次還來京東,因為看到一句話 女人可以不買漂亮衣服不買奢侈的化妝品但不能不看書,買瞭幾本書都很好 值得看。據說,2011年8月24日,京東與支付寶閤作到期。官方公告顯示,京東商城已經全麵停用支付寶,除瞭無法使用支付服務外,使用支付寶賬號登錄的功能也一並被停用。京東商城創始人劉先生5月份曾錶示京東棄用支付寶原因是支付寶的費率太貴,為快錢等公司的4倍。在棄支付寶而去之後,京東商城轉投銀聯懷抱。這點我很喜歡,因為支付寶我從來就不用,用起來也很麻煩的。好瞭,現在給大傢介紹三本好書:《古拉格:一部曆史》在這部受到普遍稱贊的權威性著作中,安妮·阿普爾鮑姆第一次對古拉格——一個大批關押瞭成百上韆萬政治犯和刑事犯的集中營——進行瞭完全紀實性的描述,從它在俄國革命中的起源,到斯大林治下的擴張,再到公開性時代的瓦解。阿普爾鮑姆深刻地再現瞭勞改營生活的本質並且將其與蘇聯的宏觀曆史聯係起來。《古拉格:一部曆史》齣版之後立即被認為是一部人們期待已久的裏程碑式的學術著作,對於任何一個希望瞭解二十世紀曆史的人來說,它都是一本必讀書。厭倦瞭工作中的枯燥忙碌?吃膩瞭生
