فرڈیننڈ کاؤنٹ فیتھم کی مہمات

Summary

فرڈیننڈ، کاؤنٹ فیتھم کے کارنامے ٹوبیاس سمولیٹ کا ناول ہے، جو پہلی بار 1753ء میں شائع ہوا۔ یہ سمولیٹ کا تیسرا ناول تھا اور اسے ان کے پچھلے دو، نسبتاً زیادہ پیکاریک ناولوں جتنی کامیابی نہ ملی۔ اس کا مرکزی کردار ایک بدکردار بانکا ہے، جو قانون یا دوسروں کی بھلائی کی ذرا پروا کیے بغیر انگلستان اور یورپ کے باقی حصوں میں دھوکا دہی، فریب اور عورتوں سے عشق بازی کرتا پھرتا ہے۔ وہ بھی اتنی ہی بدنام ماں کا بیٹا ہے، اور خود سمولیٹ لکھتے ہیں کہ ’’فیتھم اس کہاوت کو سچ ثابت کرتا ہے: جو ہڈی میں پڑ جائے، وہ گوشت سے کبھی نہیں نکلتا۔‘‘ سر والٹر اسکاٹ نے تبصرہ کیا کہ یہ ناول ’’انسانی پستی کی مکمل تصویر‘‘ پیش کرتا ہے۔ یہ کتاب اپنے زمانے کے نسلی اور دیگر توہین آمیز الفاظ کو جیسے لکھے گئے تھے ویسے ہی برقرار رکھتی ہے؛ ’کتاب رہنما‘ ان الفاظ کی جہاں وہ آئیں وضاحت کرتی ہے۔ اس کتاب میں تشدد کے مناظر ویسے ہی ہیں جیسے مصنف نے لکھے تھے۔
