The History of Pendennis(I) 潘丹尼斯（英文版） (English Edition)

The History of Pendennis is a novel by the English author William Makepeace Thackeray. Set in 19th-century London, Thackeray's The History of Pendennis: His Fortunes and Misfortunes, His Friends and His Greatest Enemy (1848-50) presents a partially fictionalised autobiography of the title character. Country-born gentleman Arthur Pendennis travels to London in quest of town life and society. The novel portrays his love affairs with the callous Blanche Amory and poor Fanny. Both of them marry other people, and Pendennis finally weds Laura Bell, his adopted sister, who had always loved him. With an unmatched wit and a keen appreciation for the inanity of social mores, William Makepeace Thackeray provides his own unique spin on the family history genre in The History of Pendennis. Following a young lad who makes his way to London in search of love and a livelihood, the narrative tears through juicy family secrets, shadowy machinations, and all manner of plots and conspiracies. If you liked Vanity Fair, you'll love The History of Pendennis.
