薩克雷著的《名利場(共2冊英文版)/世界文學經典讀本》小說場面恢宏闊大，意在容納浩瀚的社會全景。作者在敘述上采用講故事的形式，或幽默，或哀婉，夾敘夾議，冷嘲熱諷，形成獨特風格。2004年，在英國BBC組織的“大閱讀”評選活動中，本書榮膺“*受讀者喜愛的小說”稱號。

《名利場》（一譯《浮華世界》），書名取自班 揚的著名宗教小說《天路歷程》，薩克雷的成名作， 也是19世紀英國具有廣泛現實意義諷刺文學的傑作。 小說的女主人公貝姬·夏普是個貧窮畫家的女兒，天 生麗質而性情乖巧，讀書期間飽受世人的冷眼，走入 社會後便開始投機冒險的生涯，為達到獵取金錢和躋 身上流社會的目的一意諂媚逢迎，遂一路順暢，飛黃 騰達。“如果我有5000英磅，我也會是一個好女人。 ”貝姬一語中的，道破了現實社會中人與人赤裸裸的 金錢關繫。 《名利場(共2冊英文版)/世界文學經典讀本》作 者薩克雷。
