Henry Fielding was an English novelist and dramatist. He also wrote some humor works. He was one of the founders of the realistic novel. He combined his work as a judge and writer. The author wrote satire both political and the contemporary art and literature.

The book describes the story of the chaste servant Joseph Andrews who, after being sacked for spurning the advances of the prodigal woman, whips away with his beloved girl and his friend. There they face with robbers, tricksters, seducers, mishaps and strange twists of fortune, in a series of adventures filled with exuberant comedy.
