Vanity Fair. E-book. Formato EPUB. &ldquo;I think I could be a good woman, if I had five thousand a year,&rdquo; observes beautiful and clever Becky Sharp, one of the wickedest&mdash;and most appealing&mdash;women in all of literature. Becky is just one of the many fascinating figures that populate William Makepeace Thackeray&rsquo;s novel Vanity Fair, a wonderfully satirical panorama of upper-middle-class life and manners in London at the beginning of the nineteenth century.<br /><br />Scorned for her lack of money and breeding, Becky must use all her wit, charm and considerable sex appeal to escape her drab destiny as a governess. From London&rsquo;s ballrooms to the battlefields of Waterloo, the bewitching Becky works her wiles on a gallery of memorable characters, including her lecherous employer, Sir Pitt, his rich sister, Miss Crawley, and Pitt&rsquo;s dashing son, Rawdon, the first of Becky&rsquo;s misguided sexual entanglements.<br /><br />Filled with hilarious dialogue and superb characterizations, Vanity Fair is a richly entertaining comedy that asks the reader, &ldquo;Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? or, having it, is satisfied?&rdquo;
