Más información sobre el libro
“Funny, human, highly learned and literary, sexy, and filled with psychological nuances that remain unrivaled at the hands of any other psychological writer.” —André Aciman A novel without a plot, this work chronicles the adventures of Parson Yorick as he travels through France and Italy, enjoying encounters with a variety of people, especially attractive ones. The narrative shifts from a travelogue to a collection of dramatic sketches, ironic incidents, philosophical reflections, and anecdotes, blending sharp wit with gaiety and tender emotion. Alongside his masterpiece, Tristram Shandy, the author developed a unique style that positioned him as a pioneer of stream-of-consciousness writing. This edition includes an introduction that contextualizes the novel within Sterne's broader work and the genre of "sentimental" literature, as well as a chronology, reading suggestions, and comprehensive explanatory notes. For over seventy years, Penguin has been a leading publisher of classic literature, offering a vast collection of authoritative texts enhanced by scholarly introductions and notes, making it a trusted source for readers seeking the best works across history and genres.
