Hardcover. Condizione: Good. A popular picaresque classic of European literature, The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane was originally written in French by Alain-René Lesage and first published between 1715 and 1735. This English translation anonymously issued but long attributed to the celebrated novelist Tobias Smollett helped bring the roguish exploits of Gil Blas to a broad British readership. The work follows its titular hero through a series of vivid misadventures, satirising social pretensions, clerical hypocrisy, and the follies of power. This sixth edition, published circa 1785 in four volumes, is "adorned with cuts" (engravings) and reflects the enduring popularity of the translation during the late 18th century.
