萨克雷著的《名利场(共2册英文版)/世界文学经典读本》小说场面恢宏阔大，意在容纳浩瀚的社会全景。作者在叙述上采用讲故事的形式，或幽默，或哀婉，夹叙夹议，冷嘲热讽，形成独特风格。2004年，在英国BBC组织的“大阅读”评选活动中，本书荣膺“最受读者喜爱的小说”称号。

《名利场》（一译《浮华世界》），书名取自班扬的著名宗教小说《天路历程》，萨克雷的成名作，也是19世纪英国具有广泛现实意义讽刺文学的杰作。小说的女主人公贝姬·夏普是个贫穷画家的女儿，天生丽质而性情乖巧，读书期间饱受世人的冷眼，走入社会后便开始投机冒险的生涯，为达到猎取金钱和跻身上流社会的目的一意谄媚逢迎，遂一路顺畅，飞黄腾达。“如果我有5000英磅，我也会是一个好女人。”贝姬一语中的，道破了现实社会中人与人赤裸裸的金钱关系。
