Considerada como una de las cumbres de la narrativa en lengua inglesa y publicada apenas tres semanas antes de morir su autor, Viaje sentimental por Francia e Italia consagró a Laurence Sterne como un genial cultivador de la novela picaresca, pero tambien como un autor muy cercano a Defoe y Rousseau y, en nuestro ambito, a Cervantes.Un lector desprevenido, al ver el titulo, podria creer que se trata de un libro de viajes a la usanza clasica; pero nada mas lejos de la realidad. Su objeto parece insignificante, pues sirviendose del deambular erratico por Francia del despreocupado Yorick un jovial clerigo, alter ego del autor la obra parece limitarse a narrar, con suma indolencia, un recorrido sentimental en el que lo importante no son los monumentos, las ciudades o los accidentes geograficos, sino las mujeres encontradas, la curiosidad por los personajes conocidos y las pequeñas aventuras iniciadas. La gran habilidad de Sterne, tanto en esta como en su obra magna, Tristram Shandy, estriba en trascender las mas nimias anecdotas del viaje, que para el lector acabaran alcanzando valor de parabola existencial.Traduccion y postfacio de Max Lacruz Bassols

Un affascinante resoconto di viaggio che va oltre le classiche descrizioni paesaggistiche per esplorare le profondita dellanimo umano.Pubblicato nel 1768, questo romanzo e una testimonianza ironica e brillante della sensibilita settecentesca, dove le emozioni diventano la vera mappa del viaggio.Il protagonista, Yorick, alter ego dellautore, attraversa la Francia e lItalia in cerca di esperienze, incontri e riflessioni che lo portano a scoprire il valore delle piccole interazioni quotidiane. Con uno sguardo delicato e un animo pieno di curiosita, Yorick riflette su amore, compassione e umanita, immergendosi in un mondo fatto di sentimenti piuttosto che di monumenti.Con il suo stile ironico e lirico, Sterne ci regala un viaggio che non e solo geografico, ma soprattutto interiore, dove la vera destinazione e il cuore del lettore. Viaggio sentimentale e unopera che continua a incantare per la sua profondita e leggerezza, rimanendo una delle pietre miliari della letteratura europea.La presente edizione, riveduta e corretta, ripubblica la versione originale dellopera, cosi come stampata nel 1813. Contiene inoltre una nota inedita sulla ricezione letteraria dellopera in Italia.

Laurence Sternes 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 Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne also known as Tristram Shandy, is a novel by Laurence Sterne. It was published in nine volumes, the first two appearing in 1759, and seven others following over the next seven years (vols. 3 and 4, 1761; vols. 5 and 6, 1762; vols. 7 and 8, 1765; vol. 9, 1767).It purports to be a biography of the eponymous character. Its style is marked by digression, double entendre, and graphic devices. The first edition was printed by Ann Ward on Coney Street, York.Sterne had read widely, which is reflected in Tristram Shandy. Many of his similes, for instance, are reminiscent of the works of the metaphysical poets of the 17th century, and the novel as a whole, with its focus on the problems of language, has constant regard for John Lockes theories in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Arthur Schopenhauer called Tristram Shandy one of "the four immortal romances."While the use of the narrative technique of stream of consciousness is usually associated with modernist novelists, Tristram Shandy has been suggested as a precursor.

Inspirándose en modelos tandispares como El Quijote cervantino, los Cuentos de Voltaire y Obras de Locke, logró Sterne edificar una de las novelas más divertidas que jamás se hayan escrito. Crítico, ironico, acido y siempre jovial, el Tristram Shandy con sus inefables opiniones- es tambien un permanente experimento narrativo, una obra literariamente radical y revolucionaria. Por eso, a mas de dos siglos de distancia Sterne es en mayor medida que muchos novelistas actuales- un escrito estrictamente contemporaneo.
