图书简介
The Luck of Barry Lyndon
The Luck of Barry Lyndon presents one of Thackeray’s great unreliable narrators: boastful, charming, self-deceiving, and morally slippery. Moving through duels, gambling tables, armies, salons, and aristocratic marriage, the novel exposes social climbing and self-invention with comic cruelty.
