Riotous picaresque and travel; medicine, misrule, and comedy on the road.

Tobias George Smollett was a Scottish novelist, surgeon, critic and playwright. His novels were liberally altered by contemporary printers; an authoritative edition of each was edited by Dr O. M. Brack Jr and others.
Tobias Smollett sends flawed hearts through rough inns and bright harbors. The pace is quick, the observation sharp, and pity survives the joke. Read him to enjoy motion with moral weather and to see how the early novel learned range, energy, and human mess without haze.
