Bøger af Laurence Sterne

Romanklassikeren om familien Shandys liv i begyndelsen af 1700-tallet er en af de første og mest usædvanlige romaner i litteraturhistorien.Titelfiguren og fortælleren Tristram Shandy forsøger at skrive sin selvbiografi, men livet er hurtigere end skriften, og snart ser han sig overhalet af begivenhederne, som han ikke magter at omsætte til en enstrenget fortælling.Centralt i den vildvoksende beretning står fader Shandy og hans labyrintiske livssyn, den militærtossede onkel Toby og hans mere og mere udførlige krigsmodeller, korporal Trim, pastor Yorick, Dr. Slop, enkefru Wadman og selvfølgelig fortælleren selv, der ganske vist først kommer til verden halvvejs inde i bogen.Tristram Shandys levned og meninger er en munter leg med fortællekunsten, fuld af humor og sproglig vitalitet, burleske sidespring og fandenivoldske indslag, der konstant forsinker og afsporer historien. Og en af de mest originale og underholdende romaner engelsk litteratur nogensinde har frembragt.Morten Søndergaard har skrevet forordet i denne tilføjelse til Rosinantes klassikerserie.Pressen skriver:»Sternes bog er for dannelsesromanen, hvad Cervantes’ Don Quixote er for ridderromanen.«– Bo Tao Michaëlis, Politiken

'I am got, I know not how, into a cold unmetaphorical vein of infamous writing, and cannot take a plumb-lift out of it for my soul; so must be obliged to go on writing like a Dutch commentator to the end of the chapter, unless something be done ...'Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it. 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. A joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of the art of fiction, Tristram Shandy is also a wry demonstration of its limitations.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
