  • "Tableau picaresque du 18e siècle anglais dans la lignée du ##Tom Jones## de Fielding. Roman énorme rempli de verve, de verdeur et de vitalité dont la publication en 1848 fut un événement."
  • "This is a tale of adventure and romance. The scenes on board ship provide a picture of the British sailor of the day, and are drawn from Smollett's personal experience as a surgeon's mate in the navy."@en
  • "The novel tells the life story (in the first person) of Roderick "Rory" Random, who was born to a nobleman and a lower-class woman and is thus shunned by his father's family. His mother dies soon after his birth and his father is driven mad with grief. After a few years of resentfully paying for Roderick's education, his grandfather finally casts him out after repeated negative reports from Roderick's abusive tutor. Cf. Wikipedia."
  • "Het avontuurlijke leven van een jonge Schotse edelman die na vele omzwervingen te land en ter zee behouden terugkeert in zijn vaderland."
  • "Famed Scottish satirist Tobias Smollett effortlessly blends humor and adventure in The Adventures of Roderick Random.

  • ""Roderick Random (1748), Smollett's first novel, is full of the dazzling vitality characteristics of all his work, as well as of his own life. Roderick is the boisterous and unprincipled hero who answers life's many misfortunes with a sledgehammer. Left penniless, he leaves his native Scotland for London and on the way meets Strap, and old schoolfellow. Together they undergo many adventures at the hands of scoundrels and rogues. Roderick qualifies as a surgeon's mate and is pressed as a common soldier on board the man-of-war Thunder. In a tale of romance as well as adventure, Roderick also finds time to fall in love ... Smollett drew on his own experiences as a surgeon's mate in the navy for the memorable scenes on board ship, and the novel combines documentary realism with great humor and panache."--Publisher's description."@en

  • "Of all kinds of satire, there is none so entertaining and universally improving, as that which is introduced, as it were occasionally, in the course of an interesting story, which brings every incident home to life, and by representing familiar scenes in an uncommon and amusing point of view, invests them with all the graces of novelty, while nature is appealed to in every particular. The reader gratifies his curiosity in pursuing the adventures of a person in whose favour he is prepossessed; he espouses his cause, he sympathises with him in his distress, his indignation is heated against the authors of his calamity: the humane passions are inflamed; the contrast between dejected virtue and insulting vice appears with greater aggravation, and every impression having a double force on the imagination, the memory retains the circumstance, and the heart improves by the example."@en
