XVIII vek — epoha avantyuristov. V poiskah udachi i nazhivy oni kolesyat po vsey Evrope — ne imeyuschie rodiny, skryvayuschie sobstvennuyu lichnost pod falshivymi imenami i titulami, gotovye na vse. Odin iz ryadovyh v armii iskateley blagosklonnosti Fortuny — irlandets Redmond Barri. Besprintsipnyy i legkomyslennyy, krepko pyuschiy i imeyuschiy samoe smutnoe predstavlenie o chesti i poryadochnosti, etot zhiznelyubivyy veselchak tem ne menee vnov i vnov okazyvaetsya gorazdo simpatichnee nastoyaschih aristokratov, v chey krug tak otchayanno stremitsya probitsya... Literaturnyy debyut Tekkereya — opublikovannyy v 1844 godu roman «Zapiski Barri Lindona» — imel neprostuyu sudbu. Razgromlennyy viktorianskimi kritikami, ne ponyavshimi i ne prinyavshimi izyaschnuyu, yazvitelnuyu i ostroumnuyu stilizatsiyu Tekkereya pod britanskiy «plutovskoy roman» XVIII veka, on byl sovershenno zabyt pri zhizni avtora, no v XX stoletii obrel zasluzhennuyu slavu, voshel v zolotoy fond klassiki mirovoy literatury i leg v osnovu kinoshedevra Stenli Kubrika «Barri Lindon».
