The Luck of Barry Lyndon
De William Makepeace Thackeray
Duração13h 8m
Sobre este audiolivro
Redmond Barry recounts his own rise from a penniless Irish boy to a man of fashion and fortune in this masterful example of the unreliable narrator. While he portrays himself as a victim of circumstance and a gentleman of honor, his actions reveal a scoundrel, a gambler, and a domestic tyrant. The novel is a brilliant subversion of the romantic hero trope, set against the opulent but morally bankrupt backdrop of 18th-century Europe. It challenges the reader to look past the protagonist's charm to see the cold reality of his ambition.
