Endlessly digressive, boundlessly imaginative and unmatched in its absurd and timeless wit 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. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Still working excellently
Color: Black
I have had it a few months now and i am happy i have not had any problems. It is still working well. It still is easy to use. Its still has a sharp blade. It still has a nice grip. The fact that its compact and quaint is the reason i bought it not to mention the price. I definietely give it 5 stars.

Works but moves easily skids
Color: Black
Works well but Base has no anti skid grip. It slips on the counter easily. What kitchen counter top gadget has no anti slip base?? This is proof Amazon Essentials are essentially low grade products.
