Description
The first novel by Sterne, "Tristram Shandy" illuminates the incongruous behaviour of the individuals who live at Shandy Hall and their neighbours. A novel that has no beginning, middle or end, it is made up of a mass of inconsequential reminiscences, musings, and often hilarious digressions.

Description
Laurence Sterne's most famous novel is a biting satire of literary conventions and contemporary 18th-century values. A cast of strange characters populate this strangest of novels: gentle Uncle Toby, sarcastic Walter and of course, the pompous, garrulous Tristram himself.
