There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

Description

Grand roman moderne du XVIIIe siècle anglais, considéré comme l''un des sommets de la littérature universelle, à l''égal des œuvres de Rabelais ou de Cervantes, et curieusement mal connu en France, Tristram Shandy ― littéralement Tristram Tête-Fêlée ― renaît aujourd''hui dans la nouvelle traduction intégrale de Guy Jouvet.D''une force comique et subversive incomparable, cette chronique d''une maisonnée campagnarde ― où l''on assiste aux déboires et aux débats véhéments et passionnés des membres de la famille Shandy, de leurs amis, voisins et domestiques, dans des domaines aussi variés que l''obstétrique, la religion, l''amour ou l''art de la guerre ― apparaît d''abord comme le roman de la liberté absolue de l''écrivain : « Il faudrait savoir à la fin si c''est à nous autres écrivains de suivre les règles ― ou aux règles de nous suivre ! » disait Laurence Sterne.Cette édition de La Vie et les opinions de Tristram Shandy, qui entend renouer point par point avec l''esprit de l''auteur, respecte notamment au plus près son usage révolutionnaire de la typographie et de la ponctuation, contribuant ainsi à redonner au texte toute son extraordinaire vélocité.
