The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Volume 1 (Hardcover, illustrated edition)

Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy is narrated by the title character in a series of digressions and interruptions that purportedly show the "life and opinions" - part of the novel's full title - of Tristram. Composed of nine "Books" originally published between 1759-1767, the novel has more to do with Shandy family members and their foibles and history than it seemingly does with Tristram himself. However, it is through Tristram's relating the actions, beliefs, and opinions of his family members - primarily his father, Walter Shandy, and his paternal Uncle Toby - that the reader gets a clearer picture of Tristram's character.
