William Makepeace Thackeray Barry Lyndon (Esprios Classics) Paperback Book

The Luck of Barry Lyndon is a picaresque novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published as a serial in Frasers Magazine in 1844, about a member of the Irish gentry trying to become a member of the English aristocracy. Thackeray, who based the novel on the life and exploits of the AngloIrish rake and fortunehunter Andrew Robinson Stoney, later reissued it under the title The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. The novel is narrated by Lyndon himself, who functions as a quintessentially unreliable narrator. The novel was adapted by Stanley Kubrick into his 1975 film Barry Lyndon. | William Makepeace Thackeray Barry Lyndon (Esprios Classics) Paperback Book
