Expedition of Humphry Clinker

William Thackeray called it "the most laughable story that has ever been written since the goodly art of novel-writing began." As a group of travellers visit places in England and Scotland, they provide through satire and wit a vivid and detailed picture of the contemporary social and political scene.

William Thackeray a numit-o ,,cea mai de ras poveste care a fost scrisa vreodata de cand a inceput buna arta a scrierii de romane". Pe masura ce un grup de calatori viziteaza locuri din Anglia si Scotia, ei ofera prin satira si inteligenta o imagine vie si detaliata a scenei sociale si politice contemporane.
