湯姆．瓊斯（全譯本｜上冊）
Description
．英國衛報百大英文書之一 ．世界十大文學小說之一 ．毛姆評論為十八世紀英國文學中最具啟蒙文學特徵的小說 ．蕭伯納認為費爾丁是除莎士比亞外，英國從中世紀至十九世紀之間最偉大的劇作家 ．菲爾丁和丹尼爾．笛福、塞繆爾．理查遜並稱為英國現代小說的三大奠基 毛姆論費爾丁的為人與文風：「他不因成功而趾高氣揚，吃點雞肉喝瓶香檳就能堅定忍受災難。他精神勃勃地面對人生的各種處境，盡情享受人生。 ……他的文風就像是有教養人士的談話。他跟讀者說話，對讀者敘述故事就像在餐桌旁共飲一瓶酒，對許多朋友說故事一般。」 《湯姆．瓊斯》是亨利．費爾丁的代表作，小說結構的精巧和周密都令人驚嘆，十九世紀的浪漫主義和現實主義兩大流派的作家無不對其推崇備至。 全書共十八卷，規模宏偉，社會背景廣闊，前六卷寫十八世紀英格蘭的大農莊，中間六卷寫由農莊到大都會倫敦，最後六卷寫倫敦。 菲爾丁描述了地主、貴族、僕役、士兵等各個社會階層人物的現況，透過不同階層人物的言行舉止和思想感情，描繪了當時英國社會的全貌，更透過書中每個人物的命運及相互關係，深刻闡述了人性，批判貴族的偽善，建立新的自然道德觀。 英格蘭鄉紳歐渥希富有、善良且心胸寬大，某天他自倫敦出差返家時，竟在床上發現了一名棄嬰；他不顧管家黛博拉和妹妹布莉姬的反對，堅持收養這名小男嬰，甚至用自己的名字湯瑪斯幫他命名。 雖然布莉姬的兒子布里菲是歐渥希家族的唯一合法繼承人，但歐渥希對湯姆疼愛有加，所以布里菲將湯姆視為爭奪家族遺產的眼中釘，對他百般刁難；布里菲更因自己想要聯姻的豪門之女蘇菲亞和湯姆情投意合，陰謀詆毀湯姆，終於使他被歐渥希趕出家門。 湯姆離開家鄉之後，他與蘇菲亞的愛情開始遭遇各種磨難，同時展開一連串傳奇的經歷；在這些際遇中，他的身世也逐漸真相大白…… 出版社 商周出版 (城邦)
