{"product_id":"9780141199320","title":"Penguin English Library Humphry Clinker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Penguin English Library Edition of Humphry Clinker by Tobias Smollett 'What is the society of London, that I should be tempted, for its sake, to mortify my senses, and compound with such uncleanness as my soul abhors?' Smollett's savage, boisterously funny lambasting of eighteenth-century British society charts the unfortunate journey of the gout-ridden and irascible squire Matthew Bramble across Britain, who finds himself everywhere surrounded by decadents, pimps, con-men, raucousness and degeneracy - until the arrival of the trusty manservant Humphry Clinker promises to improve his fortunes. Populated with unforgettable grotesques and written with a relish for earthy humour and wordplay, and a ferocious pessimism, Humphry Clinker is Smollett's masterpiece. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016074019056,"sku":"9780141199320","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141199320_p0.jpg?v=1763655273","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141199320","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
