Vanity Fair
by W. M. Thackeray
No one is better equipped in the struggle for wealth and worldly success than the calling and ruthless Becky Sharpe, who challenges her poor past to hold on to the social ladder. But her emotional friend Amelia misses the caddy soldier George. While the two female protagonists were stigmatizing British society in the early 1800s, paramilitary and civil wars were fought, fortunes were gained and lost. The only decisive and honorable figure in this corrupt world is Dobbin, dedicated to Amelia, who will hurt and add depth to William Thackeray's epic of love and social adventure, a magnificent satirical epic.
