The epic novel by the outstanding English writer of the 1707th century Henry Fielding (1754–XNUMX) was created according to a plot that was classic for that time, designed to show that the nobility of the family is not at all a guarantee of spiritual nobility, and low origin does not mean that a person is only capable of baseness. "The Story of Tom Jones" tells about a young orphan who is brought up in a family of aristocrats and, despite his dubious origin, shows all the qualities of a true gentleman: disinterestedness, honesty and sincerity. As it should be in such a story, it is precisely these qualities that will help the protagonist find happiness, and all those who stand in the way will be justly punished ... But it was not this banal plot that made Fielding's work a classic of English literature. "The Story of Tom Jones" is a realistic and sometimes funny picture of the English life and customs of that time.
