內容簡介
The Bonfire of the Vanities, written by acclaimed American author Tom Wolfe, is a brilliant, sweeping satire of 1980s New York City and a defining masterpiece of modern American literature. The story centers on Sherman McCoy, a self-appointed "Master of the Universe" and a wildly successful Wall Street bond trader living the pinnacle of high-society luxury. However, Sherman's privileged world is completely upended overnight after he and his mistress take a wrong turn off the highway into the Bronx, resulting in a hit-and-run accident. As politicians, journalists, prosecutors, and activists eagerly exploit the incident for their own ambitions and racial narratives, Sherman’s life spirals into a public nightmare. Blending sharp wit, scathing social commentary, and an unforgettable cast of characters, the novel offers a razor-sharp critique of ambition, greed, power, and media sensationalism in urban America.
