Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Tobias Smollet, Vol. 1 It had been often said, and as often denied, that Roderick Random at once Smollett´s first novel and first widely successful literary venture, is autobiographical. Because the statement continues to be made, it is worth while to point out once more that Roderick Random is so only to a limited extent. The fact that it is written in the first person counts of course for nothing; such a method of telling a story is only a literary device common in the type of novel to which Roderick Random belongs. The fact, however, that several events of Smollett sown life correspond with events in Random´s is not to be overlooked. The author, like his hero, was a Scotchman dependent on the bounty of his grandfather, an old gentleman of considerable consequence. The author, too, like his hero, studied medicine, and when still a youth under twenty went up to London to make his way in the world, like many of his countrymen, with little money but much confidence.
