Description
"A masterful work that recaptures the spirit of 18th-century English life, Tom Jones was an instant sensation upon its 1749 publication. The mock epic traces the adventures of its lusty, good-hearted hero as he seeks his fortune in the company of thieves, whores, soldiers, and other vividly drawn characters. Beloved for its bawdy humor and biting social commentary, it ranks among the greatest of comic novels"-publisher

The Host being unwilling to be outdone in Courtesy, especially by a Person of Adams's Figure, returned the Favour with so much Gratitude, that the Parson's Nostrils likewise began to look a little redder than usual." - Henry Fielding, Joseph Andrews
