WILLIAM TAHCKERAY

Classic / British English (Available February 2008) Becky Sharp, an intelligent young lady with no family or money, becomes a governess. But this type of life is not enough for her. She has big plans for herself. Is she clever enough to find success? Will she marry and be happy? Or will life be unkind to her?

On a broad and colourful canvas, extending from urban and rural England to Waterloo and the continental haunts of exiles, Thackeray gives us one of the greatest social satires in literature; and in the character of Becky Sharp we have one of our most resourceful, attractive and amoral characters.
