À propos de cet audio

 Dive into The Expedition of Humphry Clinker, the final picaresque masterpiece by Tobias Smollett, often hailed as his most humorous and brilliant work. First published in London on June 17, 1771, this epistolary novel unfolds through a series of letters penned by six distinct characters the cantankerous Welsh Squire Matthew Bramble, his spirited sister Tabitha, their charming niece and nephew Jery and Lydia Melford, Tabithas witty maid Winifred Jenkins, and Lydias earnest suitor Wilson. The humor shines as each character presents wildly different accounts of the same events, revealing their unique perspectives and quirks. Set against the backdrop of the vibrant high-society spa towns and seaside resorts of the 18th century, Smolletts work offers a sharp satirical lens on English life and manners.
