虚栄の市

Summary

『虚栄の市』（きょえいのいち、原題：Vanity Fair）は、サッカレーの長編小説である。1847年1月から翌年7月まで雑誌に分冊の形で発表された。副題「主人公のいない小説」（A Novel without a Hero）。 19世紀初頭のイギリスとヨーロッパ大陸を舞台に、上流を目指す富裕層社会に生きる人々を諧謔と諷刺に富んだ文章で描き痛烈に批判。作者自身の挿絵が挿入され、また作者自身が作中に登場するといった手法がとられている。作者が作中に登場し説教めいたこと述べたりするのは批判されたが、中心（視点）となる人物がいないことを思えば、作者が顔を出すことによってはじめて、作品に深みと奥行きを与えることができたと言えそうだと、訳者の中島賢二は述べている。この作品は作者の出世作となり、無名であった作者を一躍有名作家にした。 この本には、当時の人種差別的な言葉やその他の侮蔑語が書かれたままの形で含まれています。『ブックガイド』では、それらの言葉が出てくる箇所で解説しています。
