A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a travelogue written by Laurence Sterne. The book was first published in 1768 and is considered a classic of English literature. The book is a fictional account of a journey made by the narrator, Yorick, through France and Italy. The book is written in a series of vignettes, each of which describes a different encounter or experience that Yorick has on his journey. The book is a sentimental journey in the sense that it focuses on the emotions and feelings of the narrator rather than on the physical details of the journey. Yorick is portrayed as a sensitive and empathetic character who is deeply affected by the people and places he encounters on his journey. The book is also notable for its use of humor and irony, as well as its exploration of themes such as love, death, and the human condition. Overall, A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a charming and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on travel and the human experience. It is a must-read for anyone interested in English literature, travel writing, or the history of the 18th century.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.
