Thackeray's Classic Masterpiece: the Memories of Barry Lyndon 3 (english Version)
by William Makepeace Thackeray
About This Novel
"Barry Lyndon Reminiscing" Thackeray's classic work was adapted into the movie "Children of Troubled Times" and won four film awards at the 48th Academy Awards. The work is in English, so English lovers should not miss it. The work tells the story of a poor young man in Ireland who has no future worth looking forward to. But in order to become a British aristocrat in the 18th century, Barry Lyndon, a gentlemanly young man, did everything he could, traveling between the battlefield and the aristocratic reception rooms. He used seduction, gambling, and duels to eventually make himself a nobleman. The work has great practical significance. Even when I read it today, it still has a profoundly inspiring effect. The novel is written in the first person and edited and published under the pen name of George Savage FitzBoodle. Thackeray based the novel on the real-life story of Irishman Anthony Robinson Stoney, who married (and soon divorced) Mary Eleanor Bowes, Countess of Strathmore, one of the ancestors of Queen Elizabeth II. It can be said that this is a classic IP that can be read frequently no matter what age it is read.
