This ribald, high-spirited novel, whose author was described by Diderot as 'the Rabelais of the English', provoked literary scandal when it was first published on 1760. With its ingenious structure and its exuberant pretense of being an autobiography, TRISTAM SHANDY fascinates like a verbal game of chess. Milan Kundera has said that it is the eighteenth-century novel he loves best.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This bawdy, high-spirited novelwhose author, Laurence Sterne, was described by Diderot as the Rabelais of the Englishprovoked a literary scandal when its first two volumes were published in 1759. A masterpiece of narrative absurdity, ribald humor, and philosophical playfulness, Tristram Shandy is famously studded with witty metafictional gambitschapters out of order, blank and blacked-out pages, a preface that occurs in the middle of the bookthat prefigured postmodernism by two centuries. Tristram Shandy, the hero of this fictional autobiography, purports to narrate the story of his life, but along the way he engages in so many colorful digressions and exuberant jokes that his birth does not even occur until Volume III. In the meantime, we meet an unforgettable supporting cast of charactersincluding Shandys father and mother, his uncle Toby, the servant Trim, Dr. Slop, and Parson Yorickwhose whimsical obsessions, domestic conflicts, and disastrous mishaps form the fabric of this genre-defying tour de force. With its lively exploration of both the logical limitations and the wildest possibilities of fiction, Tristram Shandy has earned its reputation as one of the greatest comic novels in English literature.(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed). With its ingenious structure and its exuberant pretense of being an autobiography, Tristram Shandy fascinates like a verbal game of chess.
