Available November 2026 – pre-order now! In Vanity Fair, two young women-sharp-witted Becky Sharp and gentle Amelia Sedley-navigate love, war, and society’s hypocrisies in a world where charm and cunning often outweigh virtue. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, Thackeray’s masterpiece exposes the moral emptiness of Victorian England with biting humor and unforgettable characters. First published in 1847, this enduring classic remains one of the greatest comic novels in English literature. Subtitled “A Novel Without a Hero,” it offers a timeless critique of ambition and self-interest, making it as relevant today as ever. ISBN 9781398866294 720 pages, 234 x 153 mm Show more
