Book Description paperback. 1st edition. New York. 1964. July 1964. Signet/New American Library. 1st Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 0451502558. Afterword By John Barth. 480 pages. paperback. CT255. . keywords: Signet Classic Paperback England Literature 18th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - It is for sheer narrative pleasure and exuberant inventiveness that we read Smollett, master of the picaresque. Of his novels, none better typifies his art than this chronicle of the career of Roderick Random, pursuing love and fortune through every conceivable twist and turn of fate. Before this indomitable protagonist achieves his final vindication, the reader is offered an unforgettable journey through a lusty, brawling Hogarthian world, in a work that stands as the very embodiment of that age's unflagging energy and boundless appetite for life. In the words of John Barth: 'Sailors, soldiers, fine gentlemen and ladies, whores, homosexuals, cardsharpers, fortune hunters, tradesmen of all description, clerics, fops, scholars, lunatics, highwaymen. , crowd a stage that extends from Glasgow to Guinea, from Paris to Paraguay, and among themselves perpetrate battles, debaucheries, swindles, shanghais, duels, seductions, rescues, pranks, poems, shipwrecks, heroisms, murders, and marriages. They wail and guffaw, curse and sing, make love and foul their breeches: in short, they live.' inventory #29266 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. Seller Inventory # z29266
