浮华世界
薩克萊是英國維多利亞時期的一位重要小說家,與狄更斯並稱「小說雙傑」,兩人的代表作分別為《浮華世界》和《塊肉餘生錄》。一八四七年《浮華世界》以連載方式問市,子標題為「一部沒有英雄的小說」。書中神龍活現地突顯出一位折衝於十九世紀社交界的名花,藉由她透露了滑鐵盧戰役前後英國中上階層社會腐敗、偽善以及敗德,深刻的表現出犀利的嘲諷與深透的厭世觀。除了溫馨的感情外,薩克萊戲謔活潑的口吻,還原十九世紀初大英帝國中上層社會虛華的真實面。《浮華世界》女主角貝姬的父親是一個死於飢饉的英國畫家,母親是法國的歌劇女伶,貝姬在稚齡便被送進孤兒院收養,她渴望過光鮮燦爛、華貴富裕的夢幻生活,所以在她離開學院後,她更是發誓要用盡一切手段進入上流社會,無論是機智、狡詐或者美色,都成為貝姬攀向權力頂峰的最佳武器。貝姬計畫的第一步,便是應徵克羅雷家族的家庭教師。貝姬毫不費力地贏得了宅邸裡孩子們的喜歡,更擄獲了家族裡財富傲人的瑪蒂達的歡心,而這座為於罕布夏郡的豪邸開始不能一天沒有貝姬,瑪蒂達也將她視為心腹密友,但貝姬深知--唯有到倫敦,她才能邁向權貴之路。所以當住在倫敦的瑪蒂達邀她同住時,她毫不遲疑地答應,也與摯友愛咪麗亞意外重逢。由於成長過程順遂無憂,愛咪麗亞對貝姬所懷抱的野心難以認同。近水樓台先得月,貝姬瞞著整個克羅雷家族與瀟灑的嗣子羅登私定終生,東窗事發後,惱怒的瑪蒂達毫不留情地將他們逐出家門,在沒有金援下這對夫婦的生活陷入了困境,甚至當羅登在牢裡等待貝姬來付錢保他時,她卻捎來一封信說「自己沒錢又生病」,事實上她正和情夫在家裡作樂……。拿破崙在歐陸的霸業以破竹之勢急遽擴張,羅登自願赴前線抗敵,貝姬與新婚但丈夫也被徵召至戰場的愛咪麗亞相依為命。滑鐵盧一役,愛咪麗亞丈夫為國捐軀,兩人之間的友誼也備受考驗。戰爭結束後,貝姬與羅登重逢,產下一子,但戰後的動盪、物資的貧瘠與金錢的匱乏,更讓貝姬渴望晉身至上流社會,攀龍附鳳的慾望空前熾烈,權傾天下的史坦因侯爵成了她打開禁門的黃金鑰匙。然而,這眾所仰望的平步青雲「眼看著就要成功了,卻滿盤皆輸」,最後以沈痛的代價作為交換。

The Book of Snobs
THE BOOK OF SNOBS (1848) by William Makepeace Thackeray is a masterpiece of British Victorian satire that spares no one, exposing every strata of society to the sublime ridicule that only the author of VANITY FAIR could dole out. The term "snob" was popularized in unmatched fashion through the publication of this classic, part-fiction, part-essay exposé, and wholly a detail-rich portrait of its time.
The English Humorists of the Eighteenth Ce
PREFACE: An attempt has been made to adapt this edition of the "Humorists" to the use of either college or preparatory school. To that end the notes are rather full in number but brief in the space given to each note. The essays are exceptionally rich in allusions, very happy and suggestive allusions, and the purpose of the notes is to increase rather than satisfy the student's curiosity regarding them. Essays Include; Swift. Congreve and Addison, Steele, Prior, Gay and Pope, Hogarth. Smollett and Fielding, Sterne and Goldsmith.....Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
