Vanity Fair

“Vanity Fair” is a classic Victorian novel that follows the ambitious, sharp-witted Becky Sharp and the more passive Amelia Sedley as they navigate love, money, and social status in 19th‑century England. The book satirizes class hypocrisy, greed, and pretension, painting a vivid panorama of society from boarding school to the battlefields of Waterloo and the drawing rooms of London. Its blend of dark humor, moral ambiguity, and richly drawn characters has made it one of English literature’s enduring masterpieces.
