作者介绍:

萨克雷(1811-1863),英国作家。生于印度加尔各答。父亲为英国东印度公司税务员。四岁丧父,父亲去世后,六岁的萨克雷被送回英国受教育。1829年入剑桥大学三一学院接受系统教育,1830年离开剑桥去魏玛学德语,结识了歌德。八个月后回国学法律,但半途而废。1833年去巴黎学绘画,后担任伦敦《立宪报》驻巴黎记者。1937年返回英国,靠写稿谋生。正当他在事业上崭露头角时,妻子精神失常,东印度银行破产又使他损失大部分遗产。此后十几年,为抚养妻子女儿,他大量为杂志写作散文、书评、游记、小说等。早期作品主要有《巴利林登的命运》(1844)。1847年,《势利眼集》和《名利场》先后在《笨拙》杂志上连载。《名利场》奠定了萨克雷讽刺作家的地位,他因此叱咤文坛,与狄更斯齐名。此后,《彭登尼斯》、《亨利·埃斯蒙德》、《纽克姆一家》、《弗吉尼亚人》相继问世。19世纪50年代,萨克雷在剑桥、牛津、爱丁堡讲演,此后又应邀赴美讲演,讲演集分别于1853、1860年出版。此外他还写了不少诗歌和歌谣。1863年圣诞节前夕,萨克雷因心脏病发作猝死伦敦。

内容摘要:

小说以两个年轻女子蓓基·夏泼和爱米丽亚的一生为主线,展示了19世纪初期英国上层社会的生活画面。《名利场》的故事以两条线索展开,从同一个起点出发,相互交织,最后到达同一个终点。其中一条线索讲述善良、笨拙、生活在富有家庭中的女子爱米丽亚;另一条线索讲述机灵、自私、放荡不羁的孤女蓓基·夏泼。两人于1813年乘坐同一辆马车离开平克顿女子学校,都在遭到家庭反对的情况下于1815年结婚,分别嫁给即将参加滑铁卢战役的两名英国军官。新婚不久,那场具有历史意义的战役打响了。爱米丽亚的丈夫战死沙场,蓓基的丈夫战后生还。接下来的十年中,蓓基生活一帆风顺,在社会的阶梯上不断攀升,直至有幸觐见国王,而爱米丽亚却因父亲破产承受着极大的不幸。到了1827年,命运发生了逆转,蓓基的生活落入毁灭的深渊,这其实是罪有应得;爱米丽亚却转而变得富裕幸福,可归因于善有善报。但是,作者以灵活的讽刺手法,使两位女主角最后的命运归于平衡,仿佛在一个大的轮回之后,回到故事开始时两人命运的起点。《名利场》以“没有主角的小说”为其副标题,说明本书不以个别人物的刻画为重心,而着意于这个社会。

编辑推荐:

《名利场》是英国十九世纪小说家萨克雷的成名作品,故事取材于很热闹的英国十九世纪中上层社会。故事主角是一个机灵乖巧的漂亮姑娘。她尝过贫穷的滋味,一心要掌握自己的命运,摆脱困境。她不择手段,凭谄媚奉承、走小道儿钻后门,飞上高枝,构成一个引人关怀又动人情感的故事。穿插的人物形形色色,都神情毕肖。萨克雷富讥智,善讽刺,《名利场》是逗趣而又启人深思的小说。
