Sinossi

The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom follows the sinister rise and scheming exploits of its villainous protagonist, a cold-hearted and manipulative rogue determined to climb the social ladder by any means necessary. Unlike Smollett’s more sympathetic rogues, Ferdinand is driven not by wit or survival but by calculated malice, deceit, and ambition. Posing as a nobleman, he insinuates himself into aristocratic circles across Europe, preying on the gullible and exploiting their trust for personal gain. Though his schemes often backfire in darkly comic fashion, the novel offers a chilling exploration of human greed and moral corruption. Written with Smollett’s signature irony and satirical edge, Count Fathom stands apart in his canon for its focus on vice rather than virtue.
