Description

The MediaBook studio presents an audiobook by the famous English satirical writer and master of realist fiction—William Makepeace Thackeray, “The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq.,” the author of the cult work “Vanity Fair.” The book was filmed by Stanley Kubrick himself. The audiobook is read by the popular theatre and film actor Mikhail Roslyakov. “What’s the price of knowing if it weren’t for a woman? I might now be the one wearing this crown. Your amazed at such an unbelievable idea. I’ll say it again: what’s the price of knowing? If my fellow countrymen had had a brave leader, instead of, like low slaves, kneeling to the English, they could have been completely independent; if a commander had been found who dared to stand face to face against that inhuman villain Oliver Cromwell, perhaps we would have shaken off the English yoke forever. But at that time there was no Barry on the battlefield—someone alone could have put an end to the successes of the thief of lawful power.” © ℗ LLC “MediaBook”, 2025
