| Summary | "Œuvres complètes, tome 1" by Laurence Sterne is a collection of literary works, likely penned in the early 19th century. This volume contains both biographical elements about Sterne himself and the first part of his notable work "Tristram Shandy." The collection explores themes related to authorship, identity, and the nature of narrative while offering insights into Sterne's life and his innovative literary style. The opening of the volume serves as an introduction to Sterne's life, detailing his upbringing, his modest clerical career, and the factors that contributed to his rise as a renowned author. It recounts his struggles with obscurity and his eventual success with "Tristram Shandy," which garnered both acclaim and criticism, indicating the author's complex relationship with fame. The narrative delves into the peculiarities of Sterne's character, his literary ambitions, and the whims that inspired his distinctive, digressive storytelling style, setting the stage for a work rich in humor and insightful commentary on human nature and society.
