Лоренс Стерн — библиография

This ribald, high-spirited novel, whose author was described by Diderot as ‘the Rabelais of the English’, provoked literary scandal when it was first published in 1760. With its ingenious structure and its exuberant pretence of being an autobiography, Tristram Shandy fascinates like a verbal game of chess. Milan Kundera has said that it is the eighteenth-century novel he loves best.

A furiously witty response to Tobias Smollett's curmudgeonly 'Travels through France and Italy', Laurence Sterne's A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy became a hugely influential work of travel writing in its own right. This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction and notes by Paul Goring. When Yorick, the roving narrator of Sterne's innovative final novel, sets off for France on a whim, he produces no ordinary travelogue. Jolting along in his coach from Calais, through Paris, and on towards the Italian border, the amiable parson is blithely unconcerned by famous views or monuments, but he engages us with tales of his…

Laurence Sterne (1713-1768) was an Irish Anglican clergyman. Sterne published several novels, sermons and his memoirs. He is best-known for his novel Tristram Shandy. A Political Romance is an allegory presenting a squabble over a greatcoat between a church lawyer, an archbishop and a Dean. In 1759 angry church leaders suppressed the original manuscript. In 1905 an original and unexpected copy was found in the library of the dean and chapter of York. In 1914 A Political Romance was finally published.

"The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman", when originally published from 1759 to 1767, was an experimental novel far ahead of its time.

Laurence Sterne’s great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it, with a rich metafictional narrative that might classify it as the first ‘postmodern’ novel. A joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of the art of fiction, Tristram Shandy is also a wry demonstration of its limitations.

The titular character, Shandy narrates the story of his life, beginning with his conception and focusing on his family, particularly his unconventional father Walter…

Последнее произведение писателя, роман «Сентиментальное путешествие по Франции и Италии», первые части которого вышли в 1768 году, дал имя одному из самых значительных направлений в литературе второй половины XVIII века — сентиментализму. В «Сентиментальном путешествии» внимание рассказчика впервые в истории жанра обращено не на внешние впечатления от поездки, а на анализ его собственного душевного состояния и мотивов своего поведения.

Незаконченный юмористический роман.

Повествование представляет собой историю жизни главного героя от предыстории его рождения (до которого дело доходит только в третьем томе) и до 5-летнего возраста в конце девятого тома, постоянно прерываемую многочисленными лирическими отступлениями, беседами с читателем, посторонними историями, рассказами о жизни родственников главного героя, которые превращают книгу в причудливую смесь иронических и драматических сцен, ярко очерченных характеров, сатирических выпадов и остроумных высказываний.

«Сентиментальное путешествие» Стерн закончить не успел — жизнерадостный священник Йорик добрался только до Франции, — однако сумел и рассмешить, и растрогать читателя, и дать название одному из самых значительных течений в европейской литературе второй половины XVIII века.

«Жизнь и мнения Тристрама Шенди, джентльмена» (сокр. Тристрам Шенди) — незаконченный юмористический роман Лоренса Стерна, наиболее известное произведение писателя.

Перевод А. Франковского, выполненный в 1937–1940 гг., был издан через 7 лет после смерти переводчика.
