{"product_id":"castle-rackrent-and-ennui-maria-edgeworth-9780140433203","title":"Castle Rackrent and Ennui","description":"Thady Quirk, devoted steward to the decaying estate of the Rackrent family, narrates a riotous story of four generations of a dying dynasty in Castle Rackrent (1800). Thady will defend his masters to the end, but eventually his naivety and blind loyalty cause him to ignore the warning signs as the family's excesses lead them to ruin. This volume also includes Ennui, the entertaining 'confessions' of the Earl of Glenthorn, a bored, spoiled aristocrat. Desperate to be free from 'the demon of ennui', Glenthorn's quest for happiness takes him through violence and revolution, and leads to intriguing twists of fate. Both novels offer a darkly comic and satirical exposé of the Irish class system, and a portrait of a nation in turmoil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Edgeworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0140433201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140433203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.11w x 0.89d","brand":"Maria Edgeworth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913377087743,"sku":"9780140433203","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4fe69534-5ec2-42d1-ba4c-7fe25bd2ff30.jpg?v=1680618310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/castle-rackrent-and-ennui-maria-edgeworth-9780140433203","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
