Smollett is a picaresque novel published in 1748. Born to a Scottish gentleman and cast out by his family, young Roderick Random must survive by his wits alone in eighteenth-century Britain. From London to the West Indies, he encounters malice, deception, and hypocrisy at every turn while pursuing wealthy women and seeking his rightful place as a gentleman.
