A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a travelogue written by Laurence Sterne, first published in 1768. The book chronicles the journey of the narrator, Mr. Yorick, through France and Italy. It is a sentimental journey because the focus is on the emotions and experiences of the narrator rather than the places he visits. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part describing Yorick's journey through France and the second part through Italy. The narrative is episodic, with each chapter presenting a self-contained anecdote or observation. The book is notable for its use of stream-of-consciousness writing, where the narrator's thoughts and feelings are presented in a continuous and unbroken flow.The book is also notable for its humor and wit. Sterne uses satire and irony to poke fun at the social conventions and customs of the time. The book is also a commentary on the nature of travel and the idea of the Grand Tour, which was a popular form of travel among the wealthy in the 18th century.A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy is a classic of English literature and is considered one of the earliest examples of the modern novel. It has influenced many writers, including Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. The book is a charming and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on travel and the human experience.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.
