"Vanity Fair" is not only the most famous novel by the Victorian writer William Thackeray, but also one of the most widely read works in the whole world. On the pages of this book, a wide panorama of the life of England in the first half of the 19th century unfolds. A long line of people from different social circles pass before the reader: businessmen, aristocrats, officials, members of parliament, landowners, military men, diplomats, governesses, footmen. They all live by the laws of the "fair", where everything is sold and everything is bought, where success and wealth rule everything. It is extremely fascinating to watch how their destinies intertwine with each other, forming bizarre patterns and paintings.
