Recommend a book that describes a character’s life (from birth to death) and twists of fate, similar to the movie “Barry Lyndon”.
or a more expressive description like “so afflicted by fate, lifted up so high, only to be so frightfully cast down” (Thomas Mann, Doctor Faustus. H. T. Lowe-Porter’s translation ).
