Joseph Andrews

-

Joseph Andrews - the common name of the English novel, written in 1742 by Henry Fielding. Her full name is: The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and his friend, Mr. Abraham Adams ("The Story of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and His Friend, Abraham Adams"). Contents

The main character, Joseph Andrews, is a young, naive boy whose life is constantly steered by others. Andrews was like a male version of Pamela from another novel by Fielding, Shamel. Andrews loves Fanny's simple girlfriend. She lives, however, and serves in Lady Booby's castle, which (after the death of her husband, Sir Thomas) unambiguously tries to seduce Joseph, as does the maid, Mrs. Slipslop.

Andrews must escape from the castle and wander around the world. It is often attacked and used by others. At times, Fanny is looking for her, and sometimes he and her bear misfortune. They help only the good-natured, pasty Adams. screening

In 1977, director Tony Richardson filmed the film based on the novel. Peter Firth as Joseph Andrews and Ann-Margret as Lady Booby starred. The film did not repeat the success of the previous screenplay of Henry Fielding's novel, Tom Jones (1963), also performed by Tony Richardson and for which he received an Oscar.
