The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling - Unabridged
ByPublisher Description
"The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling" by Henry Fielding is a lively and epic novel following the adventures of a young orphan raised by the kind-hearted Squire Allworthy.
The boy - Tom Jones - grows up generous and impulsive, often getting into trouble due to his passionate nature. His love for the virtuous Sophia Western drives much of the story, as misunderstandings, jealousy, and social barriers separate them. Wrongly accused of immorality and banished from Allworthy's estate, Tom embarks on a journey filled with comic misadventures, duels, and romantic entanglements. Along the way, Fielding paints a vivid picture of 18th-century English society, exposing hypocrisy and celebrating human goodness.
"Tom Jones" is Fieldings best-known work and established him as an early pioneer of the English novel. The book is presented here in its original and unabridged format, complete with footnotes.
