- Sinopsis
- A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy Laurence Sterne - 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.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 encounters with all manner of people, from counts and noblewomen to beggars and chambermaids. And as drama piles upon drama, anecdote, flirtation and digression, Yorick's destination takes second place to an exhilarating voyage of emotional and erotic exploration. Interweaving sharp wit with warm humour and irony with genuine feeling, A Sentimental Journey paints a captivating picture of an Englishman's adventures abroad.
- Acerca de Laurence Sterne
Laurence Sterne (1713-1768), novelista inglés nacido accidentalmente en Irlanda, es sin duda uno de los escritores más innovadores e influyentes de todos los tiempos, y el más libre, según Nietzsche. Autor poco prolífico debido a sus tardíos inicios y a su salud perennemente delicada, constituye sin embargo un vínculo imprescindible entre los grandes satíricos y humoristas de la literatura universal, en cierto modo precursores de la novela moderna (de Luciano a Cervantes, de Rabelais a Swift), y la más arriesgada narrativa del siglo XX: Joyce, Beckett, Cabrera Infante o Kundera son descendientes directísimos y confesos de Sterne.
