內(nèi)容概要

　　小說以兩個(gè)年輕女子蓓基·夏潑和愛米麗亞的一生為主線，展示了19世紀(jì)初期英國上層社會(huì)的生活畫面?！睹麍?chǎng)》的故事以兩條線索展開，從同一個(gè)起點(diǎn)出發(fā)，相互交織，最后到達(dá)同一個(gè)終點(diǎn)。其中一條線索講述善良、笨拙、生活在富有家庭中的女子愛米麗亞；另一條線索講述機(jī)靈、自私、放蕩不羈的孤女蓓基·夏潑。兩人于1813年乘坐同一輛馬車離開平克頓女子學(xué)校，都在遭到家庭反對(duì)的情況下于1815年結(jié)婚，分別嫁給即將參加滑鐵盧戰(zhàn)役的兩名英國軍官。新婚不久，那場(chǎng)具有歷史意義的戰(zhàn)役打響了。愛米麗亞的丈夫戰(zhàn)死沙場(chǎng)，蓓基的丈夫戰(zhàn)后生還。接下來的十年中，蓓基生活一帆風(fēng)順，在社會(huì)的階梯上不斷攀升，直至有幸覲見國王，而愛米麗亞卻因父親破產(chǎn)承受著極大的不幸。到了1827年，命運(yùn)發(fā)生了逆轉(zhuǎn)，蓓基的生活落入毀滅的深淵，這其實(shí)是罪有應(yīng)得；愛米麗亞卻轉(zhuǎn)而變得富裕幸福，可歸因于善有善報(bào)。但是，作者以靈活的諷刺手法，使兩位女主角最后的命運(yùn)歸于平衡，仿佛在一個(gè)大的輪回之后，回到故事開始時(shí)兩人命運(yùn)的起點(diǎn)?！睹麍?chǎng)》以“沒有主角的小說”為其副標(biāo)題，說明本書不以個(gè)別人物的刻畫為重心，而著意于這個(gè)社會(huì)。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　This letter completed， Miss Pinkerton proceeded to write her own name， and Miss Sedleys， in the fly-leaf of a Johnsons Dictionary-the interesting work which she invariably presented to her scholars on their departure from the Mall. On the cover was inserted a copy of "Lines addressed to a young lady on quitting Miss Pinkertons school， at the Mall； by the late revered Doctor Samuel Johnson." In fact， the Lexicographers name was always on the lips of this majestic woman， and a visit he had paid to her was the cause of her reputation and her fortune.　　Being commanded by her elder sister to get "the Dictionary" from the cupboard， Miss Jemima had extracted two copies of the book from the receptacle in question. When Miss Pinkerton had finished the inscription in the first， Jemima， with rather a dubious and timid air， handed her the second.　　"For whom is this， Miss Jemima?" said Miss Pinkerton， with awful coldness.　　"For Becky Sharp，" answered Jemima， trembling very much， and blushing over her withered face and neck， as she turned her back on her sister. "For Becky Sharp： shes going too."　　"MISS JEMIMA！" exclaimed Miss Pinkerton， in the largest capitals. Are you in your senses? Replace the Dixonary in the closet， and never enture to take such a liberty in future."　　"Well， sister， its only two-and-ninepence， and poor Becky will be iserable if she dont get one."　　"Send Miss Sedley instantly to me，" said Miss Pinkerton. And so， enturing not to say another word， poor Jemima trotted off， exceedingly lurried and nervous.　　Miss Sedleys papa was a merchant in London， and a man of some ealth； whereas Miss Sharp was an articled pupil， for whom Miss inkerton had done， as she thought， quite enough， without conferring upon er at parting the high honour of the Dixonary.

編輯推薦

　　《名利場(chǎng)》是英國十九世紀(jì)小說家薩克雷的成名作品，故事取材于很熱鬧的英國十九世紀(jì)中上層社會(huì)。故事主角是一個(gè)機(jī)靈乖巧的漂亮姑娘。她嘗過貧窮的滋味，一心要掌握自己的命運(yùn)，擺脫困境。她不擇手段，憑諂媚奉承、走小道兒鉆后門，飛上高枝，構(gòu)成一個(gè)引人關(guān)懷又動(dòng)人情感的故事。穿插的人物形形色色，都神情畢肖。薩克雷富譏智，善諷刺，《名利場(chǎng)》是逗趣而又啟人深思的小說。
