Publisher Description

The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling is a novel written by Henry Fielding in 1749. The story follows the life of Tom Jones, an orphaned baby who is adopted by a wealthy landowner. As Tom grows up, he becomes a charming and handsome young man, but also a bit of a troublemaker. He falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Sophia Western, but their relationship is threatened by the interference of her father, who wants her to marry a wealthy but unscrupulous man. Along the way, Tom has many adventures and encounters a wide variety of interesting characters, including highwaymen, gamblers, and seductive women. Will Tom be able to get his love? The book is filled with humor and satire and provides a vivid and entertaining portrait of life in 18th-century England. Fielding uses the novel as a vehicle to comment on the social and moral issues of his time, including the role of women in society, the nature of class and wealth, and the corrupting influence of power.
