The Adventures of Roderick Random

Credits: T. Smollett (author)

Summary

Tobias Smollett's 1748 picaresque follows a Scottish youth from disinherited poverty through the squalid ships of the Royal Navy and the London streets. A reader finds rough humour, fights and a fast-moving tour of Georgian low life. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
