Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the novel explores the contrasting lives of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley as they navigate the complexities of Victorian society. Becky, ambitious and cunning, seeks to ascend the social ladder, while the naive Amelia embodies the era's traditional values. Thackeray's satire deconstructs the concept of heroism, presenting a world filled with vanity and moral ambiguity. The work is inspired by John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" and highlights the characters' struggles against societal norms. This edition features an introduction and illustrations.
