《名利场》是英国伟大现实主义作家和幽默大师萨克雷的代表作。本书主要人物丽贝卡小姐出身低微，在社会上受到歧视，于是利用种种计谋甚至以色相引诱、巴结权贵豪门，不择手段往上爬。这个人物并不邪恶，也不善良，但非常富有人情味，完全是时代的产物。作品辛辣地讽刺了买卖良心和荣誉的“名利场”中的各种丑恶现象，而且善于运用深刻的心理描写和生动的细节勾勒来刻画人物，是一部现实主义的杰作。

本书为“外国文学经典”系列中的一本，保持英文版的原汁原味，值得一读。

小说的题目“名利场”一词取自班扬的寓言小说《天路历程》。本书描写了两个女子截然不同的人生经历：已故穷画师的女儿贝姬不择手段地追求名利，拼命挤入上流社会，却只能孤独终老；纯洁的姑娘阿梅莉亚钟情于轻浮的军官，却遭抛弃。作者在小说中栩栩如生地勾勒出一幅现实中名利场的画面，把生活中尔虞我诈、欺骗背叛、势利虚荣等丑恶行径表现得淋漓尽至致。
