Suddenly, his idyllic life is cruelly devastated by a series of misfortunes, and he ends up in prison. Yet, despite all this calamity and injustice, the vicar never loses sight of Christian morality, a conviction which lends him genuine nobility and, in the end, also brings justice and the restoration of his family and fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough this simple, almost fairy-tale plot, Goldsmith gives us a charming comedy. It is not a novel of sentiment but an artful send-up of many of the familiar literary conventions of his day: the pastoral scene, the artificial romance, the unquestioning stoic bravery of the hero¿all culminating in a gloriously improbable dénouement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116970098928,"sku":"2940169905243","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169905243_p0.jpg?v=1769902748","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169905243","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
