Tobias Smollett

    19. März 1721 – 17. September 1771

    Tobias Smollett fu un medico e autore i cui romanzi esplorarono spesso le vite della gente comune con un'arguzia tagliente e satirica. Le sue narrative picaresche, che presentano frequentemente viaggi e incontri con un cast eterogeneo di personaggi, offrono una rappresentazione vivida e spesso umoristica della società del XVIII secolo. Il lavoro di Smollett è caratterizzato dalla sua prosa robusta, dall'acuta osservazione sociale e da una miscela distintiva di commedia e pathos. La sua eredità letteraria, ammirata anche da scrittori successivi, risiede nella sua rappresentazione schietta della natura umana e delle complessità del mondo.

      Im Mittelpunkt steht Ferdinand, ein schurkischer Dandy, der durch Europa und England zieht und dabei andere betrügt und ausnutzt. Als Sohn einer ebenso zwielichtigen Mutter verkörpert er die Idee, dass negative Eigenschaften vererbt werden. Smollett bietet ein eindringliches Porträt menschlicher Verdorbenheit, das von Sir Walter Scott gewürdigt wurde. Zudem enthält der Roman sowohl schreckliche als auch übernatürliche Elemente, die ihn als Vorläufer des gotischen Romans positionieren. Ferdinand tritt später auch in Smolletts Roman "The Expedition of Humphry Clinker" auf.
