Synopsis

This book is an anecdotal look into the life of Barney Branagan, an Irishman plagued with paradoxical fortune. The author recounts Branagan's attempts at various trades and his enthusiastic if not profitless exploits, set against a backdrop of 19th-century Ireland. This book provides a singular view of bygone life in Ireland, with insights into the attitudes and language of the time. It underscores how the human spirit can triumph over misfortune, and how optimism can be its own reward.
