The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Slovenia ’Provocative

’Provocative

It recounts a Tang-dynasty monk's quest for Buddhist scriptures

and humane care succeeded in treating seemingly incurable diseases and preventing further outbreaks

The word legend is thrown around all too readily these days

Immediately after assuming leadership of the German Section of the Theosophical Society

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Slovenia ’ProvocativeOne of the greatest novels ever written, now in a wonderful new clothbound edition Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it. Part novel, part digression, its gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate 'hero' Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby and a host of other characters.
