This well-worn copy of Henry Fielding’s seminal novel “The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling” bears the marks of a beloved book. Published in 1749, it is considered one of the earliest and most influential English novels. Fielding’s satirical wit and keen social commentary shine through in this picaresque tale of a foundling’s adventures. Despite its age and wear, the secure binding and clean pages allow modern readers to immerse themselves in Fielding’s rich prose and bawdy humor, which scandalized 18th-century sensibilities. A pioneering work of the novel form, “Tom Jones” paved the way for generations of novelists and remains a cornerstone of the Western literary canon. This copy, with its slipcase and well-worn spine, is a testament to the enduring appeal of a true classic.
