Jonathan Wild: The History of the Life of the Lake Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great - 9781479424122

A biting satire of corruption and ambition, Jonathan Wild follows the rise and fall of a cunning crime boss in 18th-century London. Henry Fielding uses the real-life figure of Jonathan Wild-an infamous thief-taker who betrayed criminals to maintain his own power-as a vehicle for a sharp critique of political and social hypocrisy. With wit and dark humor, this novel explores the thin line between villainy and respectability in a world where success often comes at any cost.
