A vain dandy's European journey satirizing the vices of society
The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle is a picaresque novel by the 18th-century Scottish writer Tobias Smollett, first published in 1751, and revised in 1758. This is a story about the fate of the selfish and vain dandy Peregrine Pickle, revealing the vices of modern society in a comical and satirical manner.
Little Peregrine, rejected by his mother for the sake of a crippled brother, ignored by his father, was raised by his uncle, a retired sailor, Commander Trunnion.
After completing his education at Oxford, the young Peregrine embarks on a long journey across Europe, starting in France, where he embarks on all sorts of adventures.
The life of an idle gentleman allows Smollett to satirize human cruelty, greed and stupidity in a satirical way.
