Conclusion; CopyrightA continent-spanning adventure featuring one of literature'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-passion for life, for excitement, and unfortunately, for his cousin Nora. When he almost kills Nora'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' War after losing everything. But war-and life, for Rogues and vagabondsFictionRogues and vagabonds813.54Thackeray William Makepeace1811-1863,163526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812403003321The luck of Barry Lyndon4082108UNINA
