En savoir plus sur le livre

An unconventional narrative unfolds through the life of Tristram Shandy, who begins his story at conception, focusing on his eccentric family, particularly his father Walter and Uncle Toby. The novel is marked by digressions and a humorous exploration of themes like human disconnection and self-identity. With a cast of memorable characters, including Dr. Slop and Corporal Trim, it blends satire and coarse humor, addressing taboo topics. Despite initial criticism, it gained immense popularity and is now hailed as a pivotal work in comic literature, influencing future writers and philosophers.
