A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy
Laurence Sterne
Book Overview:
After the bizarre textual antics of "Tristram Shandy", this book would seem to require a literary health warning.

Let us say: an exercise in the infinitely comic.

In saying this, she suffered me to kiss her hand twice, and with a look of sensibility mixed with concern, she got out of the chaise, - and bid adieu.
IN THE STREET. CALAIS.
I never finished a twelve guinea bargain so expeditiously in my life: my time seemed heavy, upon the loss of the lady, and knowing every moment of it would be as two, till I put myself into motion, - I ordered post horses directly, and walked towards the hotel.
Lord! said I, hearing the town clock strike four, and recollecting that I had been little more than a single hour in Calais, -

Considerada una de las primeras obras del género de escritura de viajes, Viaje sentimental a través de Francia e Italia, se hizo prominente en el siglo XVIII por el escritor Laurance Sterne, publicada en dos volúmenes en 1768. Este género de viaje puso su vista en la observación y descripción de los
For those curious as to Sterne’s “other thing” besides Tristram Shandy, let me make it clear: no, this is not another spearheading postmodern masterpiece. This is a vicaresque (ha—see what I did there?) travelogue narrated by the curious Yorick, a man of questionable virtue. The chapters are bitesiz

This is pure character-driven, plotless fun. It's a travel tale in which the first-person narrator drifts from incident to incident and it is always the idiosyncratic power of his voice that carries us along. The text is not easy, loaded with archaisms and French expressions as it is. Light readers
