Project Gutenberg 1997-12-01 Public domain in the USA. 77 Fielding, Henry 1707 1754 Gualterus, Petrus Drawcansir, Alexander, Sir Keyber, Conny Trottplaid, John Vinegar, Hercules The Journal of a Voyage to Lisbon Produced by Charles Keller, and David Widger "The Journal of a Voyage to Lisbon" by Henry Fielding is a travel narrative written in the mid-18th century. This work serves as a blend of autobiographical reflection and commentary on society, detailing Fielding's own experiences and thoughts as he embarks on a journey to Lisbon during a time of personal suffering and illness. The narrative captures the writer's observations on the nature of travel, human behavior, and societal norms, all while weaving in elements of self-deprecating humor and poignant introspection. At the start of his journey, Fielding reflects on his deteriorating health, which is a pressing concern as he prepares to leave London. He describes a mix of personal emotions—from affectionate farewells to his family to a sense of resignation about his own condition. As he attempts to embark on his voyage, frustrations arise due to delays caused by the ship's captain, revealing both the mundane challenges of travel and Fielding's astute observations on human nature, particularly the behaviors of sailors and the power dynamics aboard ships. This opening portion sets the tone for a narrative that promises to explore both the external journey to Lisbon and the internal journey of the author confronting his mortality.
