The Expedition of Humphry Clinker
Get ready for a wild, witty ride through 18th-century Britain with one of the funniest, most chaotic road trips in classic literature.
In The Expedition of Humphry Clinker, Tobias Smollett delivers a sharp and hilarious satire through a series of letters written by the members of the Bramble family as they travel across England and Scotland. Each voice is uniquely quirky: from the grumpy but lovable Matthew Bramble to his flirtatious sister Tabitha, and from the philosophical Jery Melford to the naïve but big-hearted Humphry Clinker, a humble servant who might just be the unexpected heart of the story.
What unfolds is not just a travelogue, but a comic exploration of manners, medicine, romance, and the absurdities of society — all told with biting wit and outrageous humor.
Perfect for fans of Don Quixote, Gulliver’s Travels, or anyone who loves a classic with personality, The Expedition of Humphry Clinker is a joyful, eccentric, and surprisingly modern read.
