As its title suggests, the book is ostensibly Tristram's narration of his life story. But it is one of the central jokes of the novel that he cannot explain anything simply, that he must make explanatory diversions to add context and colour to his tale, to the extent that Tristram's own birth is not even reached until Volume III.
Most of the action is concerned with domestic upsets or misunderstandings, which find humour in the opposing temperaments of Walter—splenetic, rational, and somewhat sarcastic—and Uncle Toby, who is gentle, uncomplicated, and a lover of his fellow man.]]> 2019-04-05 12:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/busraustagl/ulqyvavp39ft/wish/348889683 What's interesting about this book ? busraustagl https://padlet.com/busraustagl/ulqyvavp39ft/wish/348891128 It is accepted as one of the early examples of novel.
