外國文學經典：名利場（上下）（簡體書）

小說的題目“名利場”一詞取自班揚的寓言小說《天路歷程》。本書描寫了兩個女子截然不同的人生經歷：已故窮畫師的女兒貝姬不擇手段地追求名利，拼命擠入上流社會，卻只能孤獨終老；純潔的姑娘阿梅莉亞鐘情于輕浮的軍官，卻遭拋棄。作者在小說中栩栩如生地勾勒出一幅現實中名利場的畫面，把生活中爾虞我詐、欺騙背叛、勢利虛榮等丑惡行徑表現得淋漓盡致。

威廉·梅克皮斯·薩克雷(1811-1864)，英國19世紀杰出的批判現實主義作家。1811年7月18日生于印度加爾各答，六歲時被送回英國求學。早年的薩克雷曾去過法國、德國，學過法律、藝術，廣泛閱讀英、法、德語作品．始終保持著對寫作的興趣。成年之后，他的經濟日漸拮據，不得不為報刊撰稿，鬻文糊口。薩克雷的早期作品多是一些幽默故事、特寫和詩歌，比如《巴黎雜記》、《愛爾蘭雜記》、《巴利，林登的遭遇》、《勢利小人集》等。中期開始創作批判現實主義小說，比如，完成于1848年的長篇小說《名利場》即為他的成名作，正是它奠定了作家在英國文壇上的地位。1852年發表的三卷本歷史小說《亨利·埃斯蒙德的歷史》，也被后人推至堪與《名利場》爭鋒的地位。后期，薩克雷撰寫有一批優美動人的散文《轉彎抹角的隨筆》，被后人認為可與蘭姆的作品媲美。此外，薩克雷還創作過有關圣誕節的作品，最著名的是《玫瑰與戒指》(1854)．除了寫作，薩克雷還曾于，1851年在倫敦公開
