A Journey from This World to the Next and The Journal of a Voyage to Lisbon

About this book

This unique double edition brings together Henry Fielding's two voyage narratives. A Journey From This World to the Next (1743) is a powerful satire on contemporary follies in the form of a journey through the underworld. The Journal of a Voyage to Lisbon, published posthumously in 1755, recounts Fielding's last adventure when, seriously ill, he set sail for Lisbon hoping to recover there.
