About this listen

 Join me, Roderick Random, on my contemporary odyssey through the highs and lows of orphan-hood, the clutches of poverty, the grasp of press gangs, and the pressure of maintaining a fashionable appearance despite it all. My adventures will introduce you to the colorful characters of eighteenth-century England, from audacious highway robbers and scandalous monks, to indebted gallants and corrupt officials. With my trusty sidekick, Strap, and my cherished friend Miss Williams, a reformed lady of the night, we navigate the challenges life throws at us. My tales, steeped in the wisdom of the classics and guided by an unwavering moral compass, will offer you a unique perspective on happiness, resilience and the true value of adversity. Summary by Arthur Krolman.
