Description

Tom, a foundling, is discovered one evening by the benevolent Squire Allworthy and his sister Bridget and brought up as a son in their household; when his sexual escapades and general misbehavior lead them to banish him, he sets out in search of both his fortune and his true identity. Amorous, high-spirited, and filled with what Fielding called “the glorious lust of doing good,” but with a tendency toward dissolution, Tom Jones is one of the first characters in English fiction whose human virtues and vices are realistically depicted. This edition is set from the text of the Wesleyan Edition of the Works of Henry Fielding.

Etwas langatmig

Die Irrungen und Wirrungen, die der Protagonist Tom Jones erlebt, sind teilweise sehr ausschweifend dargestellt, aber dennoch unterhaltsam. Über 1200 Seiten bleibt es bis zum Schluss spannend, ob er und seine Angebetete zueinander finden.
