Features: Vanity Fair is a long novel written by the 18th-century British critical realist writer Sacré. This book has long been recognized in the history of British literature, and the great Marx once highly praised Sacré. It is a type of picaresque novel in the literary history of Western Europe. The heroine of this book, Becky Sharp, can be considered a striking "floating fallen flower" (a wandering figure appearing as a woman). She is talented, good at singing and dancing; she is deep in her schemes, ambitious, and quick-witted, making other heroines pale in comparison. However, although they are all in supporting roles, each of them is vividly portrayed and comes to life. The male protagonist, while somewhat clumsy in action, is a true British gentleman.
