Barry LyndonBy William Makepeace ThackerayFrom the Works of William Makepeace ThackerayEdited by Walter JerroldRedmond Barry of Bally Barry, born to a genteel but ruined Irish family, fancies himself a gentleman. At the prompting of his mother, he learns what he can of courtly manners and swordplay, but fails at more scholarly subjects like Latin. He is a hot-tempered, passionate lad, and falls madly in love with his cousin, Nora. Sadly, as she is a spinster a few years older than Redmond, she is seeking a prospect with more ready cash to pay family debts.The lad tries to engage in a duel with Nora's suitor, an English officer named John Quin. He is made to think that he has assassinated the man, though his pistol was actually loaded with tow, a dummy load of heavy, knotted, fibres. Quin, struck with the harmless load, fainted in fright.Redmond flees to Dublin, where he quickly falls in with bad company in the way of con artists, and soon loses all his money. Pursued by creditors, he enlists as a common private in a Royal Army infantry regiment headed for service in Germany during the Seven Years' War.

"Siden Adams dage har næppe nogen ulykke forekommet i denne verden uden at en kvinde har stået bag." Barry Lyndon er beretningen om den flamboyante gavtyv og lykkeridder Barry Lyndons storhed og fald i 1700-tallets England. Barry er født ind i den irske lavadel, og da han - udmanøvreret i sin første kærlighedsaffære - må flygte, melder han sig under den engelske hærs faner. Han gør tjeneste i Tyskland, men deserterer og efter en kort periode som spion, forfølger han en løbebane som hasardspiller rundt om i Europas klubber saloner. Barry er en vidtløftig herre, og han skyr ingen midler for at opnå den plads på samfundets tinde, han mener tilkommer ham. I et målrettet forsøg på at blive en del af aristokratiet gifter han sig med en velhavende enke, grevinden af Lyndon, men må sande, at han dér har fundet sin ligemand. W.M. Thackerays satiriske sædeskildring Barry Lyndon er nok mest kendt herhjemme fra Stanley Kubricks berømmede filmatisering fra 1975. Nu foreligger i romanen i en nyoversættelse - mere end 150 år efter den første gang udkom på dansk. "Herlig og henrivende læsning." - Politiken "Barry Lyndon er litterær slowfood, men som sådan hele investeringen i tid, energi og penge værd." - Jyllands-Posten
