ফার্ডিন্যান্ড কাউন্ট ফ্যাথমের অভিযানসমূহ

Summary

ফার্ডিন্যান্ড, কাউন্ট ফ্যাথমের দুঃসাহসিক অভিযান টোবিয়াস স্মলেটের একটি উপন্যাস, প্রথম প্রকাশিত হয় ১৭৫৩ সালে। এটি স্মলেটের তৃতীয় উপন্যাস; তাঁর আগের, আরও পিকারেস্ক ঢঙের দুটি কাহিনির তুলনায় এটি কম সাফল্য পেয়েছিল। উপন্যাসের কেন্দ্রীয় চরিত্রটি এক দুশ্চরিত্র ড্যান্ডি, যে আইন বা অন্যের মঙ্গল নিয়ে সামান্যতম মাথা না ঘামিয়ে ইংল্যান্ড ও ইউরোপের বাকি অংশ জুড়ে প্রতারণা, ঠকবাজি আর পরস্ত্রীগমনের পথে এগিয়ে চলে। সে তারই মতো দুর্নামকুড়োনো এক মায়ের ছেলে; আর স্মলেট নিজেই মন্তব্য করেছেন, “ফ্যাথম এই প্রবাদটির যথার্থতা প্রমাণ করে: ‘হাড়ে যা গাঁথা, মাংসে তা কখনো যায় না।’” স্যার ওয়াল্টার স্কট মন্তব্য করেছিলেন, উপন্যাসটি “মানব অধঃপতনের এক পূর্ণাঙ্গ ছবি” এঁকেছে। এই বইয়ে তার সময়কার জাতিগত ও অন্যান্য অপমানজনক শব্দ যেমন লেখা হয়েছিল তেমনই রাখা হয়েছে; ‘বই-নির্দেশিকা’ সেই শব্দগুলো যেখানে আছে সেখানে ব্যাখ্যা করে। এই বইয়ে সহিংসতার দৃশ্য লেখক যেভাবে লিখেছেন সেভাবেই আছে।
