A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy [eBook]
Descriere
'A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy' is a novel by Laurence Sterne, written as Sterne was facing death. In 1765, Sterne travelled through France and Italy as far south as Naples, and after returning determined to describe his travels from a sentimental point of view. The narrator is the Reverend Mr. Yorick, who is slyly represented to guileless readers as Sterne's barely disguised alter ego.
The book recounts his various adventures, usually of the amorous type, in a series of self-contained episodes.
