Description
The Adventures of an Atom is a satirical novel written by Tobias Smollett, originally published in 1749. The story follows the journey of an atom named Humphry Clinker, who is accidentally set free from a scientific experiment and embarks on a series of adventures. Throughout the novel, Humphry encounters a range of characters, including politicians, philosophers, and even the King of Prussia. Smollett uses these encounters to comment on the political and social issues of his time, such as corruption in government and the influence of the aristocracy. The novel is written in a humorous and playful style, with Smollett using puns and wordplay to add to the satirical tone. The Adventures of an Atom is considered one of Smollett's lesser-known works, but it remains an interesting and entertaining read for those interested in eighteenth-century literature and satire.The council of Twenty-Eight being assembled in a great hurry, Fika-kaka sat about five seconds in silence, having in his countenance, nearly the same expression which you have seen in the face and attitude of Felix on his tribunal, as represented by the facetious Hogarth in his print done after the Dutch taste. After some pause he rose, and surveying every individual of the council through a long tube, began a speech to this effect: ""Imperial Got-hama-baba, my ever-glorious master; and you, ye illustrious nobles of Japan, Quanbukus, Quos, Days, and Daygos, my fellows and colleagues in the work of administration; it is well known to you all, and they are rascals that deny it, I have watched and fasted for the public weal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
