«The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman» is Laurence Sterne's satirical novel, published in paperback (624 pages, in English).
Tristram Shandy tries to tell his life story, but digressions about his eccentric family (father Walter, uncle Toby) take over the narrative. The result is a satire on the art of writing and on the conventions of the novel, full of humour and irony.
Edition from the Oxford World's Classics series with introduction and notes by Ian Campbell Ross. The novel was originally published in instalments between 1759 and 1767.
For readers of classic English fiction who enjoy satirical humour, eccentricity and narrative experimentation.
Laurence Sterne was an Anglo-Irish novelist and Anglican cleric. He is best known for his comic novels The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1759–1767) and A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1768).
