Produktbeschreibung
A brisk, bold invitation into a world where luck wobbles and character holds firm. The Adventures Of Roderick Random offers a vivid tour of eighteenth century adventure through the eyes of a witty, wayward observer who learns to navigate London's streets and society's rules. This classic picaresque novel blends sharp social satire with a travel misfortune narrative as Roderick's fortunes rise and fall in a landscape of class mobility, missteps, and moral tests. Smollett's deft storytelling delivers both page-turning pacing and cutting commentary on eighteenth century britain, from georgian era london to bustling town and countryside escapades. The work stands as a landmark in traditional british satire, offering a piercing look at ambition, luck, and the human cost of striving within a rigid social order. It is as much a complete historical fiction as a humane portrait of a young man learning to read the world. This is much more than a reprint. Alpha Editions restores the text for today's and future generations, honouring its literary and historical significance for classic literature lovers and new readers alike. Aimed at both casual readers and collectors, this annotated classic edition is a cultural treasure, a durable record of a vanished world and a lively, enduring story of misadventure and fortune.
