VANITY FAIR
6.0分
William Makepeace Thackeray
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.Y.R.© AudioFile 2001,Portland,Maine—Copyright © AudioFile,Portland,Maine —This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Vanity Fair
6.0分
William Makepeace Thackeray
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.

The Book of Snobs
6.0分
William Makepeace Thackeray
We have all read a statement, (the authenticity of which I take leave to doubt entirely, for upon what calculations I should like to know is it founded ) -- we have all, I say, been favored by perusing a remark, that when the times and necessities of the world call for a Man, that individual is found. Numberless instances might be adduced to show that when a nation is in great want, the relief is at hand just as in the Pantomime (that microcosm) where when clown wants anything -- a warming-pan, a pump-handle, a goose, or a lady's tippet -- a fellow comes sauntering out from behind the side-scenes with the very article in question.
