"Vanity Fair" by William Makepeace Thackeray, subtitled "A Novel Without a Hero", is a celebrated work of English literature. Set against the backdrop of the early 19th century, this satirical novel follows the intertwined fortunes of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley as they navigate the complexities of English society.
