A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a novel written by Laurence Sterne in 1768. The book is a travelogue that follows the journey of the protagonist, Reverend Mr. Yorick, as he travels through France and Italy. The novel is written in a sentimental and humorous style and is considered to be one of the earliest examples of the modern novel.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part covering Yorick's journey through France and the second part covering his travels in Italy. Throughout the book, Yorick encounters various characters and experiences different situations, which allow him to reflect on life, love, and human nature.The novel is known for its use of stream-of-consciousness narration and its innovative structure. It is also noted for its frank and sometimes controversial discussions of sexuality and morality.A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is considered a masterpiece of English literature and is often studied in literature courses. It is also a popular choice for readers interested in travel writing and 18th-century literature.As I pronounced the words great claims, he gave a slight glance with his eye downwards upon the sleeve of his tunic.-I felt the full force of the appeal.-I acknowledge it, said I-a coarse habit, and that but once in three years, with meager diet-are no great matters; and the true point of pity is, as they can be earn'd in the world with so little industry--by Laurence Sterne.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
