La foire aux vanités, Tome I by William Makepeace Thackeray
"La foire aux vanités, Tome I" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a novel first published as a monthly serial from 1847 to 1848. The story follows two contrasting young women—cunning, ambitious Becky Sharp and gentle, well-to-do Amelia Sedley—as they navigate British society during the Napoleonic Wars. Framed as a puppet show with an unreliable narrator, this satirical work deconstructs conventional notions of heroism while exposing the vanities and moral complexities of early
19th-century England through interconnected tales of romance, betrayal, and social climbing. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
