Vanity Fair
By William Makepeace Thackeray
Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley leave school and enter a world ruled by wealth, appearances, and advantageous marriages. While kind-hearted Amelia hopes for love and stability, Becky, clever and penniless, uses all her charm and wit to climb the social ladder. As war, scandal, and shifting fortunes shape their paths, the two women must navigate the glitter and cruelty of English society. Sharp, witty, and deeply satirical, Vanity Fair exposes ambition, vanity, and the hypocrisy of a society obsessed with status. With unforgettable characters and biting humor, Thackeray paints a brilliant portrait of human weakness in a world where almost everything has its price.
