Published just months before his death in 1768, A Sentimental Journey is Sterne's lightly fictionalised account of his own European travels; and being Sterne, it is more about digressions, misunderstandings and risqué jokes than the places he visits. Narrated by the (apparently) innocent Parson Yorick, who appeared in Sterne's other masterpiece, Tristram Shandy, it is full of anecdote and incident, and is far more about the people than the landscapes on the road from Calais.

Sterne is one of the most original and unexpected of writers, and A Sentimental Journey differs from other travel books as greatly as Tristram Shandy differs from other novels. Sterne travelled in France during the 1760s and drew on his experiences to write the narrative of Mr. Yorick, the Sentimental Traveller.

Theatre Royal. The very name summons up something of grandeur and eloquence. And it was. Hosted by Ralph Richardson, these big-name productions also included the creme de la creme of acting talents from John Gielgud, Robert Morley and Orson Welles to Trevor Howard, Michael Redgrave and Laurence Olivier. They were based on works by the world's leading authors, among them Charles Dickens, Henry James, Oscar Wilde and Anton Chekhov. These are but a few of whose company we shall be keeping as we raise the curtain on our first instalment of theatrical history.

Dieser Roman (in engl.: Sentimental Journey), der eine Reise von Reverend Yorick nach Frankreich und Italien beschreiben sollte, blieb aufgrund des frühen Ablebens des Autors Laurence Sterne (1713-1768) unvollendet. Das vorliegende Buch beschreibt die Reise nach Paris. Es berichtet über sinnliche Eindrücke, Empfindungen sowie erotische Abenteuer dort. Übersetzt wurde das Werk im Jahr 1768 von Johann Joachim Christoph Bode, der auch Musiker und Verleger war. Bearbeitung: Wolfgang Nied, Regie: Peter Ebert.
