Tom Jones

Characterized by both razor-sharp wit and broad, bawdy humour, and described by Coleridge as boasting one of the "three most perfect plots ever planned", Tom Jones was an instant hit on its publication in 1749, and is widely considered one of the greatest works of English literature and a foundation stone in the development of the English novel.

Caracterizat atat de inteligenta ascutita, cat si de umor larg si obscen, si descris de Coleridge ca fiind unul dintre cele ,,trei cele mai perfecte intrigi planificate vreodata", Tom Jones a fost un succes instantaneu la publicarea sa in 1749 si este considerat pe scara larga unul dintre cele mai mari opere ale literaturii engleze si o piatra de temelie in dezvoltarea romanului englez.
