The life and opinions of Tristram Shandy

"I wish my father or my mother, or actually both, for both were equally obliged, had considered what they were getting into when they conceived me." Thus begins Laurence Sterne's nine-volume work, which was published over 250 years ago and broke all the established rules of writing at the time. Constantly digressing and filled with countless allusions, Sterne narrates the life of his protagonist Tristram Shandy in a fragmented and entirely incomplete manner, thereby creating the original modern novel – unmistakably read by Werner Finck.
