"Vanity Fair" is a novel by the English writer William Thackeray, first published in 1847-1848. The novel, which is a satire on English society at the beginning of the XIX century, describes the life and ambitions of various characters against the background of bourgeois values and moral principles of that time. The central figures of the work are two women, Rebecca Sharp and Amelia Sedley, who represent opposite types of characters. Rebecca is an intelligent but ruthless and self—serving woman who strives to climb the social ladder at any cost. In contrast, Amelia is good—natured and naive, devoted to her idealized idea of love and morality. The novel shows how the fates of the characters are intertwined in a cycle of events reflecting the vanity and moral decay of society. Thackeray skillfully uses satire and irony to expose the hypocrisy and immorality hidden under the external well-being. "Vanity Fair" is not just a story about personal ambitions and suffering, but also a deep social commentary on how social norms and personal aspirations can lead to tragedy and the loss of genuine human values. The text of the novel is presented in the original language without translation or adaptation.
