Synopsis "Vida y Opiniones de Tristram Shandy, Caballero (in Spanish)"

«Tristram Shandy» es una de las novelas más curiosas, complejas y cómicas de la literatura inglesa. Así que quién mejor que el dibujante e ilustrador Martin Rowson, un autor de estilo personalísimo, anárquico, para adaptar la obra maestra de Laurence Sterne al cómic, en lo que constituye una de las cumbres del género. De la mano de Rowson recorreremos los vagabundeos del caballero Tristram Shandy, el de la nariz chata y las digresiones inagotables, quien, junto con su extraño tío Toby, recorre los tortuosos senderos del infinitamente complejo mundo de Sterne. En esta adaptación, Rowson ofrece un punto de vista perversamente moderno, casi deconstructivo, por el que desfilan una versión cinematográfica del Tristram Shandy firmada por Oliver Stone, una ballena que vomita barcos, un navío lleno de críticos, el novelista Martin Amis y hasta el mismísimo T. S. Eliot. Además de un montón de narices. La versión gráfica de Rowson del «Tristram Shandy» no solo es una excelente adaptación del libro, es una obra maestra del cómic por derecho propio. Estamos seguros de que al propio Laurence Sterne le habría encantado.

Laurence Sterne (1713–1768) was an Anglo-Irish novelist and clergyman, famous for his innovative style and sharp sense of humor. He was born in Clonmel, Ireland, and studied at the University of Cambridge. Ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church, he spent much of his life as a vicar in Yorkshire. However, his true fame came with the publication of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1759–1767), a revolutionary novel that broke with the narrative conventions of his time.

Tristram Shandy stood out for its fragmented structure, constant digressions, typographical play, and satirical tone, influenced by authors like Rabelais and Cervantes. The work caused a sensation in England and Europe, making Sterne a literary figure of great renown. Later he published A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1768), based on his travels through Europe, especially during his stay in France.

Sterne struggled for years with health issues, particularly tuberculosis, a disease that eventually led to his death in London. His literary legacy has deeply influenced modern and postmodern authors, and he is considered one of the forerunners of the experimental novel. His ironic and personal style continues to be the subject of study and admiration.
