The Adventures Of Peregrine Pickle (Vol - I)

Beschreibung

A brisk, beguiling journey through smokey streets and bright parlours, The Adventures Of Peregrine Pickle (Vol I) invites you to travel back to the glide and grind of the Georgian era. A picaresque adventure fiction that pairs sharp wit with roguish charm, this is not merely a tale of misadventure but a portrait of manners, satire and society in flux. Smollett's enduring classic offers a rich blend of gossipy humour, travel and folly adventures, and keen social critique. The narrative frame-the wandering Peregrine navigating fortune, fools and factions-appeals to English literature students, historical fiction fans, and readers who relish public domain classics lovers. It sits comfortably in a complete works collection and will delight illustrated edition seekers with its visual potential and historical ambience. The book's satire of manners and 18th century satire resonates with those studying defoe readers and the broader canon of classic English literature readers. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-crafted for casual readers who crave swift entertainment and for serious collectors who value provenance, context and character. A vivid, accessible doorway into a Georgian world, Peregrine Pickle remains a touchstone for readers seeking original voice, enduring humour and a quintessential travelogue through English literary history.
