An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews
De Henry Fielding
Duração1h 19m
Sobre este audiolivro
This sharp-witted parody subverts the tropes of the traditional sentimental novel, turning a tale of virtue into a hilarious account of opportunistic cunning. Shamela is a heroine who knows exactly what her "modesty" is worth on the open market of marriage. Fielding’s ruthless satire exposes the gap between public morality and private greed with wicked humor. It is a brilliantly cynical deconstruction of the era’s literary and social hypocrisies.
