Sinopsis

As Tristram Shandy narrates his life story, he is unable to explain anything simply. He must make explanatory diversions to add context and colour to his tale. Throughout his memoir, Tristram as narrator finds himself discoursing at length on sexual practices, insults, the influence of oneâÇÖs name, and noses, as well as explorations of obstetrics, siege warfare, andphilosophy as he struggles to marshal his material and finish the story of his life.Laurence Sterne had read widely, which is reflected ináTristram Shandy. Many of his similes, for instance, are reminiscent of the works of the metaphysical poets of the 17thácentury, and the novel as a whole, with its focus on the problems of language, has constant regard to John LockeâÇÖs theories ináAn EssayáConcerning Human Understanding. Arthur Schopenhauer cited Tristram Shandy as one of the greatest novels ever written.This case laminate collectorâÇÖs edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
