Penguin Classics presents Henry Fielding's Tom Jones, adapted for audio and available as a digital download as part of the Penguin English Library series. Read by the actor Robert Lindsay. '"Sir, I am concerned at the Trouble I give you; nay indeed my Nakedness may well make me ashamed to look you in the Face ..." Jones offered her his Coat; but, I know not for what Reason, she absolutely refused the most earnest Solicitations to accept it' A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighbouring squire - though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. But when his amorous escapades earn the disapproval of his benefactor, Tom is banished to make his own fortune. Sophia, meanwhile, is determined to avoid an arranged marriage to Allworthy's scheming nephew and escapes from her rambunctious father to follow Tom to London. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections. Part of a series of vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives. Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening.

this summer I brought some material to improve your word vocubalary .. and used free online dictionary for additional support ... on freeonline they always try and give you at least 3 sentences in which the word is used in classic texts .. it seem most of the words kept quoting one source which used the word and "Tom Jones" by Henry Fielding kept appearing ... I read upon Fielding as well and found out that in real life he was a judge of sorts and even founded the London Police Department back in the mid 1700"s and ended up being buried in Portugal of all places ... as far as the contents of the story I brought the dvd though it is nearly two and a half hours long it only glances the surface of the book ... I would recommend it as my English class teacher way back did to me
