Özet

Tom Jones, a foundling, is brought up by the kindly Mr. Allworthy as if he were his own son. Forced to leave the house as a young man after tales of his disgraceful behavior reach his benefactor's ears, he sets out in utter despair, not only because of his banishment but because he has now lost all hope of gaining the hand of the beautiful Sophia. But she too is forced to flee her parental home to escape an undesirable marriage and their stories and adventures intertwine.

Returned to this book after about 30 years. Loved it even more than the first time round. A wonderful mixture of philosophical musings and farce.
Extremely well read by Bill Homewood

Tom Jones is altogether marvellous

Quirky, intriguing and funny, but at times somewhat repetitive. One gets the impression that the author struggled to let go of his reader’s attention having attained it. Definitely worth the read/listen.

Satire and sentimentality, great fun

Really enjoyed listening to this old book. Predictable story but so so enjoyable to listen to

Brilliant narration

A classic with narrative plots sharing much in common with other novels published within 150 years before or after. For example, there are clear similarities between Austin''s romances or Don Quixote and Sancho Panza with Fielding's hero and his friend Partridge.

If you can show patience for many archaic tropes and literary devices, e.g. Fielding frequently addresses the reader and offers epistles upon philosophy, literature, art and human nature. This is revealing in relation to C18th ideas but generally it it quite tedious. However, stick with it and you will be rewarded.

Be Patient

This has been such a joy. Although I had seen adaptations of Tom Jones, nothing compares to the book. A perfect novel with characters of such depth you cannot fail to have empathy with them.
