La foire aux vanités, Tome II
by William Makepeace Thackeray
Translated by Georges Guiffrey
"La foire aux vanités, Tome II" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a novel first published as a monthly serial from 1847 to 1848. This satirical tale follows the cunning Becky Sharp and gentle Amelia Sedley through British society during the Napoleonic Wars. Framed as a puppet show with an unreliable narrator, the story weaves ambition, romance, and social climbing against the backdrop of war. With its subtitle "A Novel without a Hero," Thackeray dismantles conventional literary heroism while exposing the vanities of early nineteenth-century England.
