As a comic novel replete with bawdy humour and generous sentiments, it introduces us to a vivid group of memorable characters, variously eccentric, farcical and endearing. As an anti-novel, it is a deliberately tantalising and exuberantly egoistic work, ostentatiously digressive, involving the reader in the labyrinthine creation of a purported autobiography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis mercurial eighteenth-century text thus anticipates modernism and postmodernism. Vibrant and bizarre, Tristram Shandy provides an unforgettable experience. We may see why Nietzsche termed Sterne 'the most liberated spirit of all time'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48660282638591,"sku":"*R0122785*","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/23185003482847.jpg?v=1781218647","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/tristram-shandy-1","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
