Overview

As the amiable Parson Yorick travels through France and Italy, he relishes his encounters with the men and women—especially the pretty women—he meets along the way. A novel without a typical plot, a journey without a physical destination, Sterne’s witty and tender tale is a treasury of portraits, dramatic sketches, and philosophical musings.
