La Foire aux vanités

Summary

La Foire aux vanités (Vanity Fair: A Novel Without a Hero) est un roman de l'écrivain britannique William Makepeace Thackeray paru pour la première fois entre 1847 et 1848 sous forme de feuilleton dans les vingt numéros du magazine mensuel Punch. Son auteur y dépeint la société anglaise de la première moitié du XIXe siècle et la critique de façon mordante. Le livre se voulait aussi divertissant qu'instructif. On peut ainsi y lire les commentaires de l'auteur fortement imprégnés de morale victorienne. Ce livre emploie tels quels les termes injurieux, raciaux et autres, de son époque ; le Guide du livre explique ces mots là où ils apparaissent.
