About This Book

Le volume s'ouvre sur une biographie animée et des mémoires personnelles retraçant la formation de l'auteur et la genèse de son roman digressif; il présente ensuite la première partie d'un ensemble d'opinions satiriques et conversationnelles mêlant digressions, contes burlesques et sermons publiés sous un masque comique. Les textes jouent de ruptures narratives, d'apartés et de portraits vifs pour tourner en dérision les prétentions sociales et littéraires, alternant épisodes comiques et passages réfléchis sur le sentiment, la morale et l'art d'écrire, et proposant une lecture à la fois espiègle et autoréflexive sur la condition d'auteur.

About the Author

Laurence Sterne

Laurence Sterne was an English novelist and clergyman, best known for his innovative narrative style and humorous prose. His most famous work, "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman," is celebrated for its digressive storytelling and playful use of language, which have influenced many writers in the modern literary canon. Sterne's other notable works include "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy," which explores themes of travel and human connection. His unique approach to narrative structure and character development has secured his place in literary heritage as a precursor to modernist literature.
