At its heart is Matthew Bramble, a gout-ridden misanthrope who travels Britain with his nephew, niece, spinster sister, and manservant, the trusty Humphry Clinker. In a narrative peopled with pimps, drunkards, and con men, Bramble's pessimistic views on the world's degeneracy- and his eagerness to express them-betray the author's belief that his countrymen were suffering from an acute lack of sense and sobriety. Boisterous and keenly observant, \u003ci\u003eHumphry Clinker\u003c\/i\u003e is a delicious send-up of eighteenth-century society.","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109095948528,"sku":"9780141974392","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141974392_p0.jpg?v=1763656455","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141974392","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
