Joseph Andrews / Shamela

نبذة عن الكتاب:

This volume brings together two foundational works by Henry Fielding, showcasing his satirical genius and profound impact on the English novel. "Joseph Andrews" embarks on a picaresque journey, satirizing social hypocrisy and celebrating genuine virtue through the misadventures of its protagonist. Complementing this, "Shamela" stands as a biting parody of the sentimental novel, cleverly subverting its conventions to expose human artifice and self-interest. Both novels are cornerstones of 18th-century literature, offering incisive social commentary and pioneering narrative techniques that shaped the future of the genre.
