Cast off by his family, Roderick Random has nothing but his wits. He will need every one of them. The young Scot sets out to make his fortune and finds cheats, hypocrites, and villains at every turn. He is pressed into the navy, sails to the West Indies, and chases wealthy women across London society, all while trying to claim his place as a gentleman. Drawing on Smollett's own years at sea, this rollicking picaresque exposes the brutality and corruption of eighteenth-century Britain. Beautifully typeset Tydbyts Classics edition.
