The 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 amuzanta poveste scrisa vreodata de cand a inceput arta nobila a scrisului de romane". In timp ce un grup de calatori viziteaza locuri din Anglia si Scotia, acestia ofera, prin satira si umor, o imagine vie si detaliata a scenei sociale si politice contemporane.
