| 요약 | A continent-spanning adventure featuring one of literature{u2019}s greatest rogues Redmond Barry has almost all the qualities of a gentleman: he speaks well, has learned courtly etiquette, and can hold his own with a sword in hand. But passion is his downfall{u2014}passion for life, for excitement, and unfortunately, for his cousin Nora. When he almost kills Nora{u2019}s suitor in a duel, Barry flees to Dublin, and the adventure of his life begins. A consummate rake and con man, Barry finds himself on the battlefield against the Prussians in the Seven Years{u2019} War after losing everything. But war{u2014}and life, for that matter{u2014}is not exactly what Barry wished or expected it to be. A braggart{u2019}s tale through and through, with an antihero of epic proporations, The Luck of Barry Lyndon is a brisk romp through one of literature{u2019}s most unusual lives.
