Bøker av Laurence Sterne

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, a fictional autobiography of the eponymous narrator, contains¿perhaps surprisingly¿little about either his life or opinions, but what it does have is a meandering journey through the adventures of his close family and their associates. The book is famous for being more about the explanatory diversions and rabbit-holes that the narrator takes us down than the actual happenings he set out to describe, but in doing so he paints a vivid picture of the players and their personal stories.Published two volumes at a time over the course of eight years, Tristram Shandy was an immediate commercial success although not without some confusion among critics. Sterne¿s exploration of form that pushed at the contemporary limits of what could be called a novel has been hugely influential, garnering admirers as varied as Marx, Schopenhauer, Joyce, Woolf and Rushdie. The book has been translated into many other languages and adapted for the stage, radio, and film.

As Tristram Shandy narrates his life story, he is unable to explain anything simply. Throughout his memoir, Tristram as narrator struggles to marshal his material and finish the story of his life.

In "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy," Laurence Sterne embarks on a personal odyssey that marries memoir with fiction, using his travel experiences to explore the intricacies of human emotion and connection. Written in Sterne's distinctive stream-of-consciousness style, the work eschews conventional narrative for a more introspective and fragmented approach, reflecting the sentimentality that characterizes much of 18th-century literature. As Sterne traverses the picturesque landscapes of France and Italy, he engages with a myriad of characters, encapsulating the essence of the Enlightenment's exploration of the self and the emotions that govern interpersonal relationships. Laurence Sterne (1713-1768), is best known for his earlier work, "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman." His unique narrative style, infused with humor and a profound understanding of human psychology, significantly influenced the development of the novel. Sterne's personal experiences as an Anglican clergyman and his travels through Europe undoubtedly shaped the reflections and observations embedded in "A Sentimental Journey," allowing him to capture the nuanced interplay of emotion and culture in his explorations. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the evolution of the novel as a form, as well as those who appreciate rich, character-driven narratives that delve into the sentimentality of the human condition. Sterne's lyrical prose and keen insights into human nature make this work both a delightful and thought-provoking read.
