A sharp satire of 19th-century British society.

"Vanity Fair" is like a time machine wrapped in wit. Thackeray brilliantly dissects the intricacies of British high society with keen observation and a sharp tongue. It's a substantial read, sure, but it's for anyone who enjoys diving deep into character studies and the follies of social stratification. With its blend of humor, irony, and moral scrutiny, it's a mirror into the human condition that still reflects our own times.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Becky Sharp is a poor orphan when she first makes friends with the lovely Amelia Sedley at Miss Pinkerton's Academy for Young Ladies. She may not have the natural advantages of her companion but she more than makes up for it with her wit, charm, deviousness and determination to make a success of herself whatever the cost.
