Das Leben und die Meinungen von Herrn Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne
"Das Leben und die Meinungen von Herrn Tristram Shandy" by Laurence Sterne is a humorous novel published from 1759 to 1767. The narrator Tristram attempts to tell his life story but gets endlessly sidetracked by digressions, not even reaching his own birth until volume three. Through comic mishaps and domestic conflicts between his irritable father and gentle Uncle Toby, Sterne creates a wildly experimental work filled with sexual innuendo, visual tricks like
blank and marbled pages, and playful parodies that transformed him from obscure clergyman to literary celebrity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
