Early eighteenth century England saw the criminal element bargaining with magistrates and lawyers to be released or receive lenient sentences. Neither party could be trusted and the situation grew worse. Enter famed author Henry Fielding, who had a strong social conscience and served as a magistrate. In addition to this treatise, he began a register of convicted criminals, and recruited six full-time, paid constables - known colloquially as "The Bow Street Runners" and hailed as the forerunners of the modern police force. - Summary by Lynne Thompson

Anno 1853, la rivolta di Milano. Ernesto Giudici, di famiglia bene e con quarant'anni sulle spalle, tutto aria cialtronesca e vocazione mazziniana, s'imbatte in Cesco Esposito, giovane panettiere napoletano, estimatore dei classici ma non di Ferdinando II, venuto fin lassù a vagheggiare di pizza e sogno repubblicano. Ai due in fuga dagli occupanti austriaci, tra osterie genovesi e notti nere sull'Atlantico, presto si unisce Cielo, all'anagrafe Maria Celeste Sommariva, dai capelli neri come cozze e la pelle diafana come un Cristo Velato.

These transmissions accompany the book The Meaning Of Life. They are concise declarations about truth, illusion, consciousness, and the restoration of individual authority as humanity moves through a profound period of transition — from perception shaped by illusion to reality grounded in awareness. This is not commentary, debate, or self-help. Each episode is a direct reflection designed to cut through noise, challenge inherited assumptions, and return attention to the power, clarity, and responsibility that have always resided within every human being. https://www.themolbook.com

'It is only Cecilia, or Camilla, or Belinda'; or, in short, only some work in which the greatest ...

You can call me Dr. Fathom. Or Count Fathom. But I'm not who I say I am. And can you blame me? My mother was a soldiers' harlot who pocketed extra loot by wandering through the battlefield stripping the dead and dying of valuables. I don't even know who my father was, except he must have had my handsome looks. People liked looking at me. And people liked how I talked too. Early on, I learned that telling the truth didn't get you the same quick reward as telling them what they wanted to hear, being assiduously charming, dissimulating. In a word, lying. I became good at it. And I became the ...

This novel is sometimes thought of as [Fielding's] first because he almost certainly began composing it before he wrote Shamela and Joseph Andrews. It is a satire of Walpole that draws a parallel between Walpole and Jonathan Wild, the infamous gang leader and highwayman. He implicitly compares the Whig party in Parliament with a gang of thieves being run by Walpole, whose constant desire to be a "Great Man" (a common epithet for Walpole) should culminate only in the antithesis of greatness: being hanged.

Tom Jones is considered one of the first prose works describable as a novel. The novel is divided into 18 smaller books. Tom Jones is a foundling discovered on the property of a very kind, wealthy landowner, Squire Allworthy. Tom grows into a vigorous and lusty, yet honest and kind-hearted, youth. He develops affection for his neighbor's daughter, Sophia Western. On one hand, their love reflects the romantic comedy genre popular in 18th-century Britain. However, Tom's status as a bastard causes Sophia's father and Allworthy to oppose their love; this criticism of class friction in society ...
