Sinopsis

'Vanity Fair' is a panoramic satire of English society in the early 19th century, focusing on the lives and fortunes of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley. Becky, an orphan with a sharp wit and a talent for manipulation, climbs the social ladder through cunning and charm, while Amelia, a good-natured but naive young woman, faces hardship and disappointment. The novel follows their intertwined destinies through marriage, war (including the Battle of Waterloo), financial ruin, and social maneuvering. Bristed?s work offers a critical and humorous portrayal of human foibles, greed, and the superficiality of high society. 'Vanity Fair' remains a relevant and engaging exploration of ambition, morality, and the human condition, appealing to readers interested in classic literature and social commentary.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
