Smollett, Tobias George - English
URL: http://www.slider.com/enc/49000/Smollett_Tobias_George.htm

Scottish novelist. After studying at Glasgow he came to London in 1739. Failing to get his tragedy The Regicide produced, he shipped as a surgeon's mate in the British navy the following year. In 1744 he returned to London with his wife, a Jamaican heiress, practiced as a surgeon for a time, and then began an active literary career. His first three novels, Roderick Random (1748), Peregrine Pickle (1751), and Ferdinand Count Fathom (1753), are tough, coarse, episodic adventure stories, exposing a crude and brutal society.

According to tradition, Smollett was born beneath a plane tree at Dalquharn House on the family estate of Bonhill in the Vale of Leven, near the village of Renton (Dumbartonshire). The house and tree are no longer there, but Cameron house, the family home from 1763, still stands and now contains a small museum. The nearby village of Alexandria is named after a family member.

Scottish novelist, born in Dalquhurn, Dumbarton Co., and educated at the University of Glasgow. He became a surgeon's mate on a British naval vessel and in 1744 began practice as a surgeon in London. His career as a writer began with a historical play and some political satires, but it was his first picaresque novel, The Adventures of Roderick Random (1748), that made him famous; it is a vigorous, brutal comedy about a British sailor. It was followed by several other novels in which colorful adventures are mixed with grotesque characterizations and broad satire.

Smollett La Carrière d'un vaurien - French
URL: http://www.jose-corti.fr/titresromantiques/carriere-vaurien.html

shown in filters: Personalia

Généreuse et bonne fille comme le sont les mythologies, la légende du cinéma prête à différents réalisateurs la conviction que plus fouillé et plus parfait sera le personnage du “méchant”, meilleur sera le film tout entier au bout du compte. Si l’on admet en outre qu’on ne fait pas de bonne littérature avec de bons sentiments, l’idée peut se transposer tout naturellement au roman, et on conviendra alors qu’avec Ferdinand, comte Fathom, Smollett a réussi à peindre un scélérat plus noir, plus révoltant et plus détestable que dans aucune de ses autres œuvres, qui pourtant n’en manquent pas, et comme il en est peu dans toute la littérature.
