Fardorougha, The Miser: Or The Convicts Of Lisnamona is a novel written by William Carleton and first published in 1846. The story is set in rural Ireland during the early 19th century and follows the life of Fardorougha, a wealthy and miserly landowner who lives in the village of Lisnamona. Fardorougha’s greed and obsession with money have made him a despised figure in the community, and he is known for his harsh treatment of his tenants and workers.The plot revolves around Fardorougha’s attempts to secure his wealth and protect it from those who would take it from him. He is particularly concerned about his son, who he believes will squander his inheritance if given the chance. Fardorougha’s paranoia and mistrust lead him to take extreme measures to protect his wealth, including imprisoning his son and hiring a private army to guard his property.As the story progresses, Fardorougha’s actions have far-reaching consequences for himself and the people around him. The novel explores themes of greed, corruption, and the destructive power of wealth. It also provides a vivid portrayal of rural life in Ireland during a time of great social and economic change.Overall, Fardorougha, The Miser: Or The Convicts Of Lisnamona is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a fascinating insight into Irish society and culture during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
