Tristram Shandy: The Penguin English Library
Autor Laurence Sterneen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 oct 2012
'I am got, I know not how, into a cold unmetaphorical vein of infamous writing, and cannot take a plumb-lift out of itfor my soul; so must be obliged to go on writing like a Dutch commentator to the end of the chapter, unless something be done ...'
Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it. Part novel, part digression, its gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate 'hero' Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby, and a host of other characters, including Dr Slop, Corporal Trim and the parson Yorick. A joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of the art of fiction,Tristram Shandyis also a wry demonstration of its limitations.

Notă biografică
Born
in
Clonmel,
Ireland,
in
1713,
Laurence
Sterne
spent
the
first
ten
years
of
his
life
moving
from
place
to
place
within
Ireland
and
also
Yorkshire,
as
his
father,
an
army
ensign,
was
assigned
and
reassigned
constantly.
Educated
at
a
grammar
school
near
Halifax,
Sterne
took
a
place
at
Jesus
College,
Cambridge
in
1733,
two
years
after
his
father
died
of
a
fever
in
Jamaica.
Going
on
to
become
a
clergyman,
he
published
four
sermons
during
his
lifetime
-
but
it
was
for
his
literary
works
that
he
earned
great
acclaim,
particularlyThe
Life
and
Opinions
of
Tristram
Shandy,
his
nine-volume
masterpiece,
which
made
him
a
celebrity.
Dogged by ill-health for much of his life, he took various recuperative trips to the continent, which informed his final work,A Sentimental Journey, published barely three weeks before his death in London in 1768 at the age of fifty-four.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
This Wordsworth Edition includes an exclusive Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex. Laurence Sterne's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman is a huge literary paradox, for it is both a novel and an anti-novel. As a comic novel replete with bawdy humour and generous sentiments, it introduces us to a vivid group of memorable characters, variously eccentric, farcical and endearing. As an anti-novel, it is a deliberately tantalising and exuberantly egoistic work, ostentatiously digressive, involving the reader in the labyrinthine creation of a purported autobiography. This mercurial eighteenth-century text thus anticipates modernism and postmodernism. Vibrant and bizarre, Tristram Shandy provides an unforgettable experience. We may see why Nietzsche termed Sterne 'the most liberated spirit of all time'.
