Tristram Shandy (Everyman's Library CLASSICS)

Tristram Shandy (Everyman's Library CLASSICS) by laurence-sterne. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781857150070.

Laurence Sternes great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it, with a rich metafictional narrative that might classify it as the first postmodern novel. 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.
