Tristram Shandy provoked a literary sensation when it first appeared in a series of installments between 1759 and 1767. The ribald, high-spirited book prompted Diderot to hail Sterne as 'the English Rabelais.' An ingeniously structured novel (about writing a novel) that fascinates like a verbal game of chess, Tristram Shandy is both a joyful celebration of the infinite possibilities of the art of fiction and a wry demonstration of its limitations. Many view this picaresque masterpiece as the precursor of the modern novel. A Sentimental Journey, which came out in 1768, begins as a travelogue. Yet it ends as a treasury of portraits, sketches, and philosophical musings, for as Virginia Woolf observed: 'A Sentimental Journey, for all its levity and wit, is based upon something fundamentally philosophic--the philosophy of pleasure.'

This carefully crafted ebook: "Tristram Shandy" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Tristram Shandy or, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman purports to be a biography of the eponymous character. Its style is marked by digression, double entendre, and graphic devices. As its title suggests, the book is ostensibly Tristram's narration of his life story. But it is one of the central jokes of the novel that he cannot explain anything simply, that he must make explanatory diversions to add context and colour to his tale. Most of the action is concerned with domestic upsets or misunderstandings, which find humour in the opposing temperaments of its central characters. Arthur Schopenhauer cited Tristram Shandy as one of the greatest novels ever written.

"The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" is typically divided into nine volumes. Laurence Sterne did not write a specific Volume 4 of the novel. The novel continues to explore the life and opinions of Tristram Shandy, employing a fragmented and digressive narrative style. Sterne's work is renowned for its witty humor, satirical commentary, and unconventional approach to storytelling. Throughout the various volumes, Sterne presents a range of topics, including Tristram's upbringing, his family history, and his reflections on society, philosophy, and literature. The novel challenges the conventional novel form of its time and remains a significant work in the development of the modern novel. This story offers readers a unique reading experience, filled with humor, philosophical musings, and a delightful exploration of human nature.
