"Oh, those women! They nurse and cuddle their presentiments, and make darlings of their ugliest thoughts…" Self-serving social climber and anti-heroine Becky Sharp will do anything to raise her status and attain wealth and standing with smart Society. Clever, lively and resourceful, orphan Becky is the total opposite of her naive and sentimental schoolmate Amelia Sedley, a pampered, yet good-natured girl from a wealthy family. As both women build lives for themselves in London, Thackeray decadently satirises the corruption and flaws of 19th-Century English Society.

"La Vendetta", histoire d`un amour contrarie et tragique, est un peu une version "corse" de Romeo et Juliette. Cette nouvelle, publiee en 1830, presente la singularite d`etre un des premiers ecrits signe Balzac. Elle inaugure les "Scenes de la vie privee " de La Comedie humaine. Elle marque egalement l`interet que l`ecrivain accorde aux liens familiaux et aux unions ratees. Le role de l`amour paternel, toujours present dans son oeuvre, et qu`il exploite ici avec beaucoup de brio, sert de revelateur pour devoiler les non-dits de la nature humaine.

Tous ceux qui m`ont connu, tous sans exception, me croient mort. Ma propre conviction que j`existe a contre elle l`unanimité. Quoi que je fasse, je n`empêcherai pas que, dans l`esprit de la totalité des hommes, il y a l`image du cadavre de Robinson. Cela suffit - non certes à me tuer - mais à me repousser aux confins de la vie, dans un lieu suspendu entre ciel et enfers, dans les limbes en Plus près de la mort qu`aucun autre homme, je suis du même coup plus près des sources mêmes de la sexualité.
