Sinopsis

Told by an old family servant, this short novel offers a sharp, ironic view of a declining Anglo-Irish estate. Through gossip and recollection, it captures the waste, folly, and ruin of a landowning dynasty. With humor and bite, it explores class, loyalty, and the cost of privilege in a rapidly changing Ireland.

Four generations of foolish landlords-one loyal servant’s tale. Can a family survive when it squanders everything but its pride?

Reseña del editor

The author of the following Memoirs has upon these grounds fair claims to the public favour and attention; he was an illiterate old steward, whose partiality to the family, in which he was bred and born, must be obvious to the reader. He tells the history of the Rackrent family in his vernacular idiom, and in the full confidence that Sir Patrick, Sir Murtagh, Sir Kit, and Sir Condy Rackrent's affairs will be as interesting to all the world as they were to himself. Those who were acquainted with the manners of a certain class of the gentry of Ireland some years ago, will want no evidence of the truth of honest Thady's narrative: to those who are totally unacquainted with Ireland, the following Memoirs will perhaps be scarcely intelligible, or probably they may appear perfectly incredible. For the information of the ignorant English reader, a few notes have been subjoined by the editor, and he had it once in contemplation to translate the language of Thady into plain English; but Thady's idiom is incapable of translation, and, besides, the authenticity of his story would have been more exposed to doubt if it were not told in his own characteristic manner.
