✦ Synopsis


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 Shandy is also a wry demonstration of its limitations.

The text and notes of this volume are based on the acclaimed Florida Edition, with a critical introduction by Melvyn New and Christopher Rick's introductory essay from the first Penguin edition.

Il titolo puΓ² indurre in errore. Nel romanzo di Tristram Shandy si parla poco. Bisogna arrivare fino alla metΓ  del libro per vederlo nascere e alla fine Γ¨ ancora solo un bambino. Si parla invece molto del padre Walter, un bizzarro personaggio ossessionato dal tempo e dalle tradizioni, un po' meno de
