The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, often known simply as Tom Jones, is a comic novel by English playwright and novelist Henry Fielding. It is both a Bildungsroman and a picaresque novel. It was first published on 28 February 1749 in London, and is among the earliest English prose works to be classified as a novel. It is the earliest novel mentioned by W. Somerset Maugham in his 1948 book Great Novelists and Their Novels among the ten best novels of the world. Tom Jones is generally regarded as Fielding's greatest book and as an influential English novel. Urgan was a Turkish academic, translator, author and socialist politician. She translated works of Thomas Malory (c. 1415-1471), Henry Fielding (1707-1754), Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850), Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), Graham Greene (1904-1991), William Golding (1911-1993), John Galsworthy (1867-1933) and Shakespeare (1564-1616) into Turkish. She was honored with the "Golden Book Award" in 1993. For her work Virginia Woolf, she received the "Sedat Simavi Literature Award" in 1995, and the "Association of People of Letters Honor Award" in 1996. (Wikipedia). First Edition.
