The Adventures of Roderick Random is a picaresque novel by Tobias Smollett, first published in 1748. It is partially based on Smollett's experience as a naval-surgeon's mate in the Royal Navy, especially during the Battle of Cartagena de Indias in 1741. In the preface, Smollett acknowledges the connections of his novel to the two satirical picaresque works he translated into English: Cervantes' Don Quixote and Alain-Ren� Lesage's Gil Blas. The novel tells the life story (in the first person) of Roderick "Rory" Random, who was born to a Scottish gentleman and a lower-class woman and is thus shunned by his father's family.

Excerpt from The Adventures of Roderick Random: In Two Volumes I have attempted to reprefent model! Merit ltru'ggling with every difficulty to which a friendlcfs orphan is expofed, rom his own want of experience, as well as from the felfilhnefs, envy, malice, and hafe indifference of mankind. To fecure a favourable prepofl'eflion, I have allowed him the advantages of birth and education, which in the feries of his misfortunes will, I h0pe, engage the inge nuous more warmly in his behalf; and though I forelce, that fome e0ple will be offended at the mean fcenes in which he is involved.
