书籍简介:The classic by William Thackeray. “If she did not wish to lead a virtuous life, at least she desired to enjoy a character for virtue, and we know that no lady in the genteel world can possess this desideratum, until she has put on a train and feathers and has been presented to her Sovereign at Court. From that august interview they come out stamped as honest women. The Lord Chamberlain gives them a certificate of virtue.”
穷画家的女儿蓓姬·夏普,自幼失去父母,但绝顶聪明。她以半工半读的方式从寄宿学校毕业后,由一名家庭小教师起步,牢牢抓住每一个机会,削尖了脑袋钻进维多利亚时代的上流社会,成为一颗光芒四射的交际明星。这一尤物的发迹历程,在滑铁卢战役波澜壮阔的历史大背景映衬下,展现了堪称世界文学中最成功的一个女冒险家艺术形象。萨克雷的词锋犀利,机智幽默,解剖人生精妙入微。本书问世将近一百六十年来,一直被誉为一面讽世明镜、一部警世宝典。
