Translated by Heikki Impiwaara
A novel written in the early 19th century. The story begins with Samuel Titmarsh, a young man with aspirations, who receives a peculiar diamond brooch from his wealthy aunt, Mrs. Hoggarty. The narrative promises a blend of humor and social commentary, showcasing the protagonist's interactions with the absurdities of society around him. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Samuel Titmarsh, who reflects on his life and background as he prepares to move to London. His aunt presents him with an old brooch, which he learns has significant sentimental value and carries eccentric family lore. This initial exchange sets the stage for Samuel's journey, highlighting his unpretentious nature and the contrasting opulence of his aunt's life. As he transitions from his rural roots to the bustling city, the story hints at the comic misadventures and societal critiques that will unfold as Samuel navigates his new life.
