The book "Justification of the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews" is a literary masterpiece by the famous English writer Henry Fielding. It is a parody of the popular novel of the time, "Pamela" by Samuel Richardson, which is known for its sentimental plots. The heroine of the book, Shamela Andrews, is a flirtatious young girl who tries at any cost to choose a husband and rise in the social hierarchy. Fielding ironically exposes the hypocriticism and falsity in the society of that time, and also criticizes certain literary conventions. "Justification of the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews" is not only a thoughtful and satirical story, but also a significant contribution to English literature of the 18th century.
