Tobias Smollett

    19 marzo 1721 – 17 settembre 1771

    Tobias Smollett fue un médico y autor cuyas novelas a menudo exploraron las vidas de gente común con un ingenio agudo y satírico. Sus narrativas picarescas, que frecuentemente presentan viajes y encuentros con un elenco diverso de personajes, ofrecen una representación vívida y a menudo humorística de la sociedad del siglo XVIII. La obra de Smollett se caracteriza por su prosa robusta, aguda observación social y una mezcla distintiva de comedia y patetismo. Su legado literario, admirado incluso por escritores posteriores, reside en su representación sincera de la naturaleza humana y las complejidades del mundo.

      Im Mittelpunkt steht Ferdinand, ein schurkischer Dandy, der durch Europa und England zieht und dabei andere betrügt und ausnutzt. Als Sohn einer ebenso zwielichtigen Mutter verkörpert er die Idee, dass negative Eigenschaften vererbt werden. Smollett bietet ein eindringliches Porträt menschlicher Verdorbenheit, das von Sir Walter Scott gewürdigt wurde. Zudem enthält der Roman sowohl schreckliche als auch übernatürliche Elemente, die ihn als Vorläufer des gotischen Romans positionieren. Ferdinand tritt später auch in Smolletts Roman "The Expedition of Humphry Clinker" auf.
