Sumérgete en las aventuras cómicas y satíricas de Joseph Andrews y Shamela, dos obras maestras de Henry Fielding. En 'Joseph Andrews', sigue al virtuoso protagonista en su viaje lleno de desventuras tras ser despedido por rechazar las insinuaciones de Lady Booby. Acompañado por la bondadosa Fanny Goodwill y el ingenuo Parson Adams, Joseph enfrenta robos, pobreza y situaciones hilarantes. Por otro lado, 'Shamela' es una parodia ingeniosa de 'Pamela' de Samuel Richardson, donde la astuta heroína utiliza la modestia fingida para atrapar a un rico marido. Estas dos novelas cortas ofrecen una visión aguda de la sociedad del siglo XVIII, con un humor mordaz y personajes inolvidables.
Henry Fielding was an English writer and judge known for the use of humour and satire in his works. His famous novels include Shamela (1741), Joseph Andrews (1742), The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling (1749) and Amelia (1751). Along with Samuel Richardson, Fielding is seen as the founder of the traditional English novel. As well as being a novelist, Fielding was also a playwright, known for his satirical comedies The Author's Farce (1730), Tom Thumb (1730), The Letter Writers (1731) and The Tragedy of Tragedies (1731). He also played an important role in the history of law enforcement in the United Kingdom, using his authority as a magistrate to found the Bow Street Runners, London's first professional police force.
