A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sterne's celebrated novel A Sentimental Journey joins the Naxos AudioBooks catalogue. Sterne's novel transformed the travelogue genre in the eighteenth century by making travel writing much more personal and immediate. Writing from a subjective perspective, we experience France and Italy through the eyes of the delightful persona of Yorick. This spirited, mirthful and flirtatious character is an obvious alter-ego for Sterne himself. From losing his passport to being mistaken for a jester to indulging in numerous romantic clinches, Yorick's journey is full of unforgettable incidents and adventures.

Revue de presse

From the same source comes A Sentimental Journey by Laurence Sterne, author of Tristram Shandy. Read by Anton Lesser, this tale is a lightly fictional account of the author's own European travels. Full of elegant writing, it is in many ways more about digression, misunderstandings and some risqué jokes than the places he visits, in this case France. Listening to this audiobook was a most enjoyable experience that I would not have wanted to miss. --Seniors Review
