Содержание:

Tom Jones

Описание:

`Tom Jones` is one of the first and finest English comic novels. Henry Fielding`s high-spirited hero is a foundling of mysterious origins, discovered abandoned one night in the bed of the wealthy and benevolent Mr Allworthy. Tom`s intrigues, amours and picaresque adventures, and how he pursues and wins the lovely and apparently unattainable Sophia Western, are the ingredients of a gloriously elaborate plot. The novel appeared in 1749 to a mixture of consternation and applause. Fielding`s blithe and racy humour, his insight into sexual ethics and social hypocrisy and his preoccupation with happiness as well as goodness give us, in `Tom Jones`, an unrivalled entertainment.
