Purporting to be an autobiography of the antihero Tristram Shandy, Laurence Sterne's novel is a comic masterpiece of digression, egoism and sensationalism, as its hilarious asides, explanations and host of memorable secondary characters - such as Uncle Toby, Dr Slop, Parson Yorick and Widow Wadman - take centre stage, at the expense of the actual life events the book sets out to depict. A humorous compendium of European thought and literature - pastiching the likes of Locke and Bacon and referencing Pope, Swift, Cervantes and Rabelais - emerges amid the convoluted accounts of Tristram's conception, misnaming and accidental circumcision by a sash window, in a shrewd narrative that examines the role and nature of language itself.
Bak denne verdensberømte romanens forføreriske fasade av digresjoner, assosiasjoner, historier og sleivspark til alle og enhver, står Sternes roman i dag frem som kanskje den mest innflytelsesrike og moderne klassiker. De opprinnelige ni bindene utkom første gang i 1759-67. Har forklarende noter.
The Voyage sentimentalis a masterpiece of English literature. Yorick's adventures are a model for the intercultural encounter. This jewel of the Enlightenment is characterised by an elegant lightness of touch, nonchalance and gallant humour, and a confusion of heart and mind tempered by humour.
