The Life And Opinions Of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman

Endlessly digressive, boundlessly imaginative and unmatched in its absurd and timeless wit, Laurence Sterne's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman is edited with an introduction by Melvin New and Joan New, and includes a critical essay by Christopher Ricks in Penguin Classics.

Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it, with a rich metafictional narrative that might classify it as the first 'postmodern' novel. Part novel, part digression, its gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate 'hero' Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby, and a host of other characters, including Dr Slop, Corporal Trim and the parson Yorick. A joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of the art of fiction, Tristram Shandy is also a wry demonstration of its limitations.

The text and notes of this volume are based on the acclaimed Florida Edition, with a critical introduction by Melvyn New and Christopher Ricks's introductory essay from the first Penguin Classics edition.

Laurence Sterne (1713-1768) graduated from Cambridge in 1737 and took holy orders, becoming a prebend in York Cathedral. His masterpiece, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman made him a celebrity but ill-health necessitated recuperative travel and A Sentimental Journey grew out of a seven-month trip through France and Italy.

If you enjoyed The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, you might like Henry Fielding's Tom Jones, also available in Penguin Classics.

Great product
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Product is great with good coverage and ease of use. Much better than comparable products because it is very light feeling and doesn't leave a heavy or sticky residue on your skin. Perfect protection for anyone who burns easily or fair skinned. However I paid for the extra rushed 3 day shipping and it was delayed and I wasn't reimbursed the extra shipping charges even though it arrived 6 days later.

Save your money- don’t buy
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Purchased this for our trip to Mexico. At two cruise ports we were doing a combination snorkel and pool day. I got this sunscreen because it was reef friendly and came with two bottles. Both bottles were IMPOSSIBLE to spray. You could not sunscreen yourself because you had to hold the bottle just right, push down with extreme force, and have your fingers place very specifically on the lid. My 13 year old and husband couldn’t even use the bottles. I did figure it out so I had to continually sunscreen everyone in the family. No one in my family has sensitive skin, but we all ended up with a fine rash after using this sunscreen. On days prior we used another brand and no one had a problem. We also reapplied often (every 60-90 min) and we still got pretty burnt. Maybe we got a bad batch…

Spray Cap doesn’t work
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
Very annoyed- first use and the cap is stuck and won’t spray unless you fiddle around with it and twist it back and forth a few times in and out of the locked position and even then you have to mash down on the button SUPER hard for it to spray. Super weird, never had this issue with any spray product before. Very annoying and nearly impossible to spray yourself with all it takes to get it to work!

Bottle opens/sprays fine - READ
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
For those of you who said the bottle does not spray-- look closely on the top of the sprayer nozzle THERE IS the word LOCK with an arrow by it. (It needs to be clearer.) IT WORKS if you turn in the direction of the arrow half way around. IT WON'T OPEN UNLESS YOU TURN the top in THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW so it unlocks. You can lock it again so it won't leak - a nice feature. I love the product and the clean Alba brand. Recommend.

Bad product. Do not buy!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 15
No matter what I do to unlock the can, it simply will not work. I also bought the 30 SPF pack of two at the same time. They also do not work. Now, I have 3 cans of sunscreen that I cannot use because they will not spray and I can't even return them. Check the return policy and the reviews! I did not and now I'm stuck with expensive trash. This shouldn't be that hard. I've bought other brands that spray just fine. It's a problem specific to alba.
