Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of Tobias Smollett

A lively tour of eighteenth‑century satire and adventure, this collection brings together Smollett’s most spirited novels. In The Expedition of Humphry Clinker a rag‑tag group of travelers set off from Bath, their letters and misadventures painting a vivid portrait of social life, family quirks, and the pleasures of an English summer. The narrative’s humor unfolds through a chorus of voices, each eager to claim the spotlight while the whole party drifts toward an unexpected Italian sojourn.

The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle follows a reckless gentleman who, after a series of ill‑judged bets, finds himself navigating the tangled webs of love, debt, and duels. Meanwhile, Roderick Random and Sir Launcelot Greaves thrust their heroes into the chaos of sea voyages, courtroom intrigues, and the bustling streets of London, offering a vivid glimpse of a world on the brink of modernity. Together, these stories deliver witty commentary, vivid characters, and a taste of the era’s bustling imagination.
