| Barallaghan: Or The Deipnosophists is a novel written by Edward Kenealy and published in 1845. The story is set in Ireland and follows the lives of the Barallaghan family, who are known for their love of good food and conversation. The title of the book is a reference to the ancient Greek work The Deipnosophists, which is a collection of conversations about food and drink.The novel is written in a satirical and humorous style, and the characters are portrayed in a way that highlights their eccentricities and flaws. The Barallaghan family is made up of a range of characters, including the patriarch, who is obsessed with food and drink, his wife, who is a hypochondriac, and their children, who are all struggling to find their place in the world.Throughout the book, the family members engage in lively conversations about food, drink, and other topics, and the reader is treated to a glimpse of the customs and traditions of Irish society in the mid-19th century. The novel also touches on themes of class, gender, and religion, and provides a commentary on the social and political issues of the time.Overall, Barallaghan: Or The Deipnosophists is a witty and entertaining novel that offers a unique perspective on Irish society in 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.
