Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair – Softcover Edition
By William Makepeace Thackeray

A sharp and enduring satire of ambition, romance, and social climbing, Vanity Fair is William Makepeace Thackeray’s masterpiece of 19th-century literature. First published in 1847–1848, this sprawling novel offers a vivid portrait of English society during the Napoleonic era, brimming with wit, irony, and unforgettable characters.

At its heart is the cunning and resourceful Becky Sharp, a woman determined to rise above her modest beginnings—by charm, manipulation, or sheer audacity. Alongside her, Thackeray weaves the stories of soldiers, aristocrats, and fortune-seekers, creating a richly layered panorama of love, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of status.

This softcover edition features:

• Durable, portable binding ideal for long reading sessions.
• Clear, easy-to-read print that brings Thackeray’s prose to life.
• A must-have for fans of classic literature and social satire.

By turns humorous and biting, Vanity Fair remains a timeless exploration of human ambition and folly—proving that in a world without heroes, everyone plays the game.
