I-Vanity Fair, eyabhalwa umlobi oyiNgisi uWilliam Makepeace Thackeray, iwumsebenzi wobuciko oyisa abafundi enkathini yezinxushunxushu zeziMpi ZaseNapoleonic. Imiswe ngokumelene nalokhu kwasemuva komlando, inoveli ihlanganisa iqoqo elihehayo labalingiswa, izifiso, namaqhinga omphakathi.

Enhliziyweni yayo kukhona abesifazane ababili abahlukene: u-Becky Sharp no-Amelia Sedley. U-Becky, ngobuhlakani bakhe obubukhali nokuzimisela okungaguquki, udweba indlela yakhe emphakathini we-Regency, eshiya uphawu olungenakucimeka. Ngaleso sikhathi, u-Amelia uhlanganisa ubumsulwa nokuba sengozini, ukuzulazula emhlabeni ofanayo ngesethi ehlukile yezinselelo.

Amabhulashi ka-Thackeray apenda isithombe se-panoramic seminyaka, engathwebuli nje kuphela ama-ballroom acwebezelayo nezindawo ezinhle kodwa namaqiniso abuhlungu zempi, imali, kanye nobunikazi bezwe. Impi yempumelelo yomphakathi ishube kakhulu njengeMpi yase-Waterloo enedumela elibi, kanti abalimalayo—abangokoqobo nabangokomfanekiso—bajulile ngokulinganayo.

I-Thackeray ifaneleka kahle lesi sithombe, isisebenzisela ukuhlekisa ngemihlangano yomphakathi waseBrithani wasekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19.

Njengoba abafundi behlolisisa emakhasini eVanity Fair, bahlangabezana neqoqo elicebile lamaphutha abantu, izifiso, kanye nokungqubuzana. Izwi elilandisayo lika-Thackeray, elakhiwe njengomdlalo wopopayi, lengeza isendlalelo esithakazelisayo sokungathembeki. Ifomethi ye-serialized yenoveli, ehambisana nemifanekiso kaThackeray, ithuthukisa futhi ukucwiliswa komfundi.

Ishicilelwe ekuqaleni njengochungechunge lwanyanga zonke olunemiqulu engu-19 kusukela ngo-1847 kuya ku-1848, i-Vanity Fair yagcina iqhamuke njengomsebenzi wevolumu eyodwa ngo-1848. Isihlokwana sayo esithi, "Inoveli Engenalo Iqhawe," sibonisa ukusuka kukaThackeray ngamabomu emibonweni evamile yobuqhawe bemibhalo. Kunalokho, uhlukanisa ubunkimbinkimbi bemvelo yomuntu, eveza amaphutha nobuhle ngokufanayo.
