Tom Jones
by Henry Fielding
Tom Jones, a mysterious paternity extender that Mr. Alworthy raised in his hometown, is deeply in love with the seemingly seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of a nearby wizard, although he sometimes lends himself to the charm of local girls. The adventure begins when Tom is fired to make his own fortune and Sofia follows him to London to avoid an arranged marriage. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, full of danger and intrigue, crazy enthusiasm and exclamations of the good-natured writer, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and greatest comics of English literature.
