Ferdinand Count Fathom

description Ferdinand Count Fathom Overview

The Adventures of Ferdinand, Count Fathom is a novel by the Scottish writer Tobias Smollett, first published in 1753. Its central character is a villainous, socially mobile adventurer who cheats, swindles, and pursues sexual and financial advantage across Europe and England. The book uses an episodic narrative associated with the picaresque tradition, but its protagonist is unusually close to being an outright villain rather than a roguish survivor. It is suited to readers studying eighteenth-century English fiction and satire.
