In William Thackeray's Vanity Fair, no one is better equipped in the struggle for wealth and worldly success than the alluring and ruthless Becky Sharp, who defies her impoverished background to clamber up the class ladder. Her sentimental companion Amelia, however, longs only for caddish soldier George. As the two heroines make their way through the tawdry glamour of Regency society, battles - military and domestic - are fought, fortunes made and lost. The one steadfast and honourable figure in this corrupt world is Dobbin with his devotion to Amelia, bringing pathos and depth to Thackeray's gloriously satirical epic of love and social adventure.

威廉·萨克雷（William Thackeray）的《名利场》讲述了，在争取财富和世俗成功的斗争中，没有人比贝基·夏普更胜一筹，她自私、放荡不羁，她不顾自己贫穷的背景，在阶级阶梯上攀登。然而，她多愁善感的同学阿米莉亚却只迷恋着放荡的战士乔治。随着两位女主人公在摄政时期腐朽堕落的社会中一路走来，军事和家庭斗争不断，财富也在不断积累和流失。在这个腐败的世界里，**坚定而可敬的人物是都宾，他对阿米莉亚的奉献，为萨克雷这部光辉的爱情和社会冒险的讽刺史诗带来了悲怆和深度。
