Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq., The by William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 - 1863)https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/memoirs-of-barry-lyndon-esq-the-by-william-makepeace-thackeray-1811-1863--6491603
Thackeray, who based the novel in part on the life and exploits of the Anglo-Irish rake and fortune-hunter Andrew Robinson Stoney, among other historical sources, significantly revised and reissued the book in 1856 under its current title.

Its unreliable, morally dubious narrator, metafictional editor, and multiple layers of interpretive possibility make it a fascinating precursor to the modern novel, while Thackeray's characteristic interest in the specifics of 18th-century life ensures a rich and engaging backdrop.
