Wordsworth Editions Ltd Tom Jones

The best 18th century comedy
The Wentworth edition is very good so no need to pay more. Tom Jones is so well plotted that it rivals Oedipus Rex and Volpone in that respect. A great summer read or just great at anytime. A masterpiece.

I would deffinately recommend it to all book lovers out there...
The book is worth reading... It's a comic epic as described by Fielding... Throughout the volume Fielding preaches the Shaftesbury philosophy making Sophia the heroine of d novel it's manifestation... Tom Jones is also unique because it's a quaisy picaeeque... And it is even considered by ST Coleridge to be the one of the three best plot the other two being Alchemist and King Oepidus... The plot resembles the paladian mansion. It shows the entire contemporary society of the 18th century... As it's subtitle The History of a Foundling...proves it to be a reflection of the societal condition of 18th century... Wordwoth classic publication of Tom Jones is better than most other and also pocket-friendly...and Amazon service was like a cherry on the cake...

Ottimo
Il libro è arrivato nei tempi previsti; il libro rispetta la descrizione . La trama è molto interessante, l'inglese è di facile comprensione, tranne per alcuni termini antichi.

Tom Jones - the novel!
This novel is really a surprise. It is long at over 700 pages, and I am only 120 pages in, but it is a really good read. It has humour, deals with issues such as children born outside of marraiage, relegion etc., and contains many thought provoking statements. Given that it was first published in 1749 it is an amazingly forward thinking piece of writing, and if it continues in the current vain will become one of my all time favourites.
