Sobre este artículo
A. Milar, 1749. 1st Edition, Second issue. Hardcover. Very Good. Sometimes referred to as first edition, second issue, sometimes second edition, this is the 1749 printing with errata corrected and a full list of contents for all six volumes printed in the beginning of Volume 1. Apparently, in its original binding of full mottled calf, gilt double ruled front and back with brown grain leather spine with gilt titles and devices. Some minimal wear to covers and some spotting here and there. Still, a sound, unsophisticated set of the original edition.
Sinopsis
A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire—though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature. Includes a chronology, suggestions for further reading, notes, glossary, and an appendix of Fielding's revisions Introduction discusses narrative tecniques and themes, the context of eighteenth-century fiction and satire, and the historical and political background of the Jacobite revolution
