«What is the life of man! Is it not to shift from side to side?—from sorrow to sorrow?—to button up one cause of vexation!—and unbutton another!» (Tristram Shandy, Volume IV, Chapter XXXI) ~ #BornOnThisDay: #LaurenceSterne (1713-1768), Anglo-Irish novelist, satirist and Anglican clergyman best known for his novels, Tristram Shandy, and A Sentimental Journey; but he also published sermons, wrote memoirs, and was involved in local politics. Tristam Shandy is famous for its unusual narrative style, as Shandy is famously and comically known for his inability to tell his story, with endless digressions. The novel, in which Sterne manipulated narrative time and voice, played with the narrative form accepted up to his age, and included a great deal of parody and bawdy humor, became famous not only in the Great Britain, but throughout Europe almost upon its publication. Sterne influenced European writers as diverse as Voltaire, Diderot, Goethe and the German Romanticists. ~ Best-known works: • The Life and Opinions of #TristramShandy, Gentleman (1759-67, novel) • A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1768, novel) ~ «... I wish I had been born in the Moon, or in any of the planets, (except Jupiter or Saturn, because I never could bear cold weather) for it could not well have fared worse with me in any of them (though I will not answer for Venus) than it has in this vile, dirty planet of ours—which, o' my conscience, with reverence be it spoken, I take to be made up of the shreds and clippings of the rest.» (Tristram Shandy, Vol. I, Ch. V) ~ «The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.» (Tristram Shandy, Vol. II, Ch. III) ~ «It had ever, as I told the reader, been one of the singular blessings of my life, to be almost every hour of it miserably in love with some one.» (A Sentimental Journey) ~ #birthday #Sterne #ASentimentalJourney #TheLifeAndOpinionsOfTristramShandyGentleman #ASentimentalJourneyThroughFranceAndItaly #ASentimentalJourneyAndOtherWritings #APoliticalRomance #JournalToEliza #book #books #bookstagram #novel #englishnovel #reading #read #literature #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd #bookish #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-G_3xg11C/?igshid=13dn50pyjr72b

I love making personal bookish lists, other than my all-time favourite books and year-end top 10s which I make yearly, and I thought it could be a good idea to post such lists occasionally. Here's my top 10 favourite 18th-century British novels, which includes, along with the English fathers of novel, authors from the Anglo-Irish canon: 1. Tristram Shandy - Laurence Sterne 2. Tom Jones - Henry Fielding 3. Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift 4. Joseph Andrews - Henry Fielding 5. Clarissa (abridged edition) - Samuel Richardson 6. Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe 7. A Sentimental Journey - Laurence Sterne 8. Moll Flanders - Daniel Defoe 9. Humphry Clinker - Tobias Smollett 10. Roderick Random - Tobias Smollett ~ There are novels who couldn't make my list like Pamela, by Samuel Richardson, and The Vicar of Wakefield, by Oliver Goldsmith, both of which I did not enjoy reading much. Besides, this list may change in the future when I read some early gothic novels by Walpole, Beckford and Radcliffe, and Fanny Burney's Evelina. Do you have a favourite 18th-century British novel? ~ #Top10Books #18thCenturyBritishNovel #TristramShandy #LaurenceSterne #TomJones #HenryFielding #GulliversTravels #JonathanSwift #JosephAndrews #Clarissa #SamuelRichardson #RobinsonCrusoe #DanielDefoe #MollFlanders #book #books #bookstagram #reading #read #bookworm #literature #booklove #bibliophile #instabook #bookish #bookclub #booknerd #bookaddict #top10 #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Cm4VaAVYK_e_-X71vXJluKURRsFY8JlyORdw0/?igshid=18bnx0mps95ri
. "İnsan ne tutarsız varlık! - Tedavi edilebilecek yaralarıyla yerlerde sürünüyor! - Hayatı ile bilgisi sürekli çelişki halinde! - Aklı, Tanrının ona bahşettiği bu değerli armağan (yağlamaya değil) duyarlılığını keskinleştirmeye, acılarını çoğaltmaya ve onu bu acılar yüzünden daha kederli ve rahatsız etmeye yarıyor ancak! - Zavallı mutsuz yaratık, neden davrandığından başka türlü davranamaz ki acaba! - Sanki bu dünyada, mutsuz olması için yeterince neden yokmuş gibi, kendi iradi nedenlerini de keder deposuna katmak zorunda mı; kaçınılmaz kötülüklere karşı mücadele etmek ve bazılarına teslim olmak yerine, onda biri bir çabayla bütün bu belaları savuşturabilecekken?" syf.214 . "Tüm vasıtalar içinde en ilginci olan insanın, dedi babam, o kadar narin ve derme çatma bir yapısı vardır ki, bu çetin hayat yolunda kaçınılmaz olarak maruz kalacağı ani ve sert darbeler onun gün içinde defalarca yolundan çıkıp devrilmesine yol açabilirler - yani, kardeşim Toby, içimizde gizli bir zemberek olmasa halimiz perişandı." syf.287 . "İnsan hayatı nedir ki! Bir taraftan bir tarafa - bir kederden ötekine geçmek değil mi? - bir derdin üstüne kilit vurup - bir başkasını açmak!" syf.335 #laurencesterne #tristramshandy #tristramshandybeyefendininhayatıvegörüşleri #çeviri #nuranyavuz #yky #yapıkrediyayınları #kitap #neokuyorum #okumakiptiladır #okumahalleri https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVp271FilJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=flrs22d4h9o6
. "Harika kitapları, onlardan zevk alıp mutlu olmak için değil, bir işe yarasın diye okumayı alışkanlık edinmiş ve okuryazarların halkın geri kalanına hizmet etmesine koşullanmış fakir bir ülkede (hatırlattığım için özür dilerim) yaşadığımı sık sık hatırladığım için kitapları okura sevdirmenin kolay, ama aldatıcı bir yolunu bulurum: Bu da, işe kitapların okura öğreteceği şeylerden başlamaktır." Orhan Pamuk'un önsözünden, syf.15 . "Hayatın anlamı değil, bir yapısı vardır yalnızca. Bunu zaten biliyorduk, bu yüzden altı yüz sayfa kitap yazılır mı hiç! Diyorsanız cevabım: Bütün büyük romanlar zaten bildiğiniz, ama o konuda büyük bir roman yazılmadığı için kabul edemediğiniz gerçekleri göstermek için yazılır." Orhan Pamuk'un önsözünden, syf.19 . "Yaşamak ve sağlıklı olmak arzusu insanın doğasında vardır; özgürlük ve gelişme isteği bu tutkunun kız kardeşi olurlar." syf.113 . "Yurttaşlarım! - dikkatli olun - sözlerinizi özenle seçin - ve asla! Hayır, asla unutmayın: Zarafetinizin ve şöhretinizin kaderi minimini edatlara, sıfatlara bağlıdır." syf.120 . "Eğer insan düşünebilen bir varlıksa, şu saptamanın gerçekliğine de aşina olması gerekir: İnsan kendi düşüncelerine, kendi duygularına vakıf olmalıdır; geçmişte nelerin peşinde koştuğunu hatırlayabilmeli, onu yaşamı boyunca yaptıklarını yapmaya sevkeden gerçek saikleri ve mihrakları mutlaka bilmelidir." syf.140 . "Kişinin bedeni ve ruhu - her ikisine derin bir saygı beslediğimi belirteyim - tıpkı cesetle astarı gibidirler; birini buruşturun, öteki de buruşur." syf.180 #laurencesterne #tristramshandy #tristramshandybeyefendininhayatıvegörüşleri #çeviri #nuranyavuz #yky #yapıkrediyayınları #kitap #neokuyorum #okumakiptiladır #okumahalleri https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTRTxsg-9U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=88gar88puokf
