Easton Press Tristram Shandy LIKE NEW Laurence Stern Leather Adventure Classic

Description: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Stern This book is in NEAR PERFECT condition with no markings inside or out and no attached bookplates. The spine is surprisingly tight for a book of this size and girth. This is a common Easton Press book, but this particular copy is exemplary, and the commonality doesn't diminish the fact that it is a gorgeous masterpiece of literature and bookmaking. I've only taken one picture of the illustrations as an example of both them and the font. The illustrations themselves are numerous and stylistically appropriate to the point of sublime ubiquity. 444 pages The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, also known as Tristram Shandy, is a novel by Laurence Sterne, inspired by Don Quixote. It was published in nine volumes, the first two appearing in 1759, and seven others following over the next seven years. It purports to be a biography of the eponymous character. Its style is marked by digression, double entendre, and graphic devices. The first edition was printed by Ann Ward on Coney Street, York. Sterne had read widely, which is reflected in Tristram Shandy. Many of his similes, for instance, are reminiscent of the works of the metaphysical poets of the 17th century, and the novel as a whole, with its focus on the problems of language, has constant regard for John Locke's theories in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Arthur Schopenhauer called Tristram Shandy one of "the four immortal romances".
