Om denne e-boken

Redmond Barry, a spirited young Irishman, embarks on an ambitious journey through 18th-century Europe. Starting from his rural roots in Ireland, he sets his sights on the heights of aristocratic society. Through a series of calculated moves and fortunate encounters, Barry navigates the complexities of courtship and social climbing.

His path intertwines with historical events and influential figures, shaping his rise from obscurity to prominence. Yet, beneath the veneer of glamour and success, Barry's journey is fraught with personal sacrifices and moral compromises.

William Thackeray's narrative skillfully unfolds Barry Lyndon's saga with a blend of satire and insight into human nature. Through Barry's adventures and misadventures, Thackeray examines the allure of social status and the moral dilemmas faced by those who pursue it relentlessly.

WILLIAM THACKERAY [1811-1863] was one of Victorian England’s most prominent authors. Among his most famous works are Vanity Fair [1847-1848] and The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. [1844].
