Description

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman' is a unique and celebrated novel written by Laurence Sterne. Volume 2 continues the satirical journey of Tristram Shandy, a fictional character whose life and musings form the core of the narrative. In this volume, Sterne continues his unconventional approach to storytelling, using digressions, humorous anecdotes, and playful narrative techniques to explore various themes and ideas. Tristram reflects on his own conception and birth, delves into his family history, and shares his opinions on various topics, ranging from philosophy to politics. The book's fragmented structure, with its numerous diversions and interruptions, mirrors the chaotic nature of life itself. The story is a literary masterpiece that defies traditional narrative expectations. Volume 2 is a continuation of Sterne's bold and innovative storytelling, providing readers with a delightful and thought-provoking exploration of life, philosophy, and human folly.

Author

Laurence Sterne (24 November 1713 - 18 March 1768) was an Irish novelist and an Anglican clergyman. He wrote the novels The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman and A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy, and also published many sermons, wrote memoirs, and was involved in local politics. Sterne's novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman sold widely in England and throughout Europe. Translations of the work began to appear in all the major European languages almost upon its publication, and Sterne influenced European writers as diverse as Denis Diderot and the German Romanticists. His work had also noticeable influence over Brazilian author Machado de Assis, who made use of the digressive technique in the novel The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas. Tristram Shandy, in which Sterne manipulates narrative time and voice, parodies accepted narrative form, and includes a healthy dose of bawdy humour, was largely dismissed in England as being too corrupt.This is strikingly different from the views of European critics of the day, who praised Sterne and Tristram Shandy as innovative and superior. Voltaire called it "clearly superior to Rabelais", and later Goethe praised Sterne as "the most beautiful spirit that ever lived."
