Description
Born into poverty and outmanoeuvred in his first love affair, Barry Lyndon's life takes him down a path of adventure and deception. From his service in Germany to his pursuit of wealth and status in the dissolute clubs and courts of Europe, this is a story of one man's relentless quest for success.
First published in 1844, Barry Lyndon is a novel that reflects its author's views on the true art of fiction: to represent a subject with accuracy and wit, rather than moralizing. This edition restores passages cut from the original text, providing an unvarnished look at life in 18th-century Europe.
Part of Oxford World's Classics, this affordable volume offers a wealth of features, including expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study. A gripping and thought-provoking read, Barry Lyndon is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the lives of those who lived on the fringes of society.
