The Life And Opinions Of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. STERNE, LAURENCE.
1661X1 Reprint, originally published in 9 volumes between 1759 and 1767. Oxford University Press, London: 1966. 591 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket in protective mylar cover. Ex-library reading copy. An amorphous mass of inconsequential incidents, musimngs, reminiscences and countless hilarious digressions into side issues of the vaguest tangential relevance, make up this engaging anti-novel which has no beginning, middle or end, and is dominated by the author's vibrant personality which commands the reader's active participation. Contrary to the title, more is told of Uncle Toby's passion for war-gaming and Walter Shandy's eccentric theories than of Tristram's life. $24.10USD Click here to order or message the dealer
