A continent-spanning adventure featuring one of literatureโs greatest rogues
Redmond Barry has almost all the qualities of a gentleman: he speaks well, has learned courtly etiquette, and can hold his own with a sword in hand. But passion is his downfallโpassion for life, for excitement, and unfortunately, for his cousin Nora. When he almost kills Noraโs suitor in a duel, Barry flees to Dublin, and the adventure of his life begins.
ย
A consummate rake and con man, Barry finds himself on the battlefield against the Prussians in the Seven Yearsโ War after losing everything. But warโand life, for that matterโis not exactly what Barry wished or expected it to be. A braggartโs tale through and through, with an antihero of epic proporations, The Luck of Barry Lyndon is a brisk romp through one of literatureโs most unusual lives.
