Zhizn I Mneniya Tristrama Shendi Dzhentlmena

Publisher Marketing: Shedevrom Sterna bezogovorochno priznan Tristram Shendi (Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman). Na pervyj vzgljad roman predstavljaetsja haoticheskoj meshaninoj zanjatnyh i dramaticheskih scen, masterski ocherchennyh harakterov, raznoobraznyh satiricheskih vypadov i jarkih, ostroumnyh vyskazyvanij vperemezhku s mnogochislennymi tipografskimi trjukami (ukazujushhie pal'cy na poljah, zachernennaja (traurnaja) stranica, obilie mnogoznachitel'nyh kursivov). Rasskaz postojanno uhodit v storonu, perebivaetsja zabavnymi i poroju riskovannymi istorijami, kakovye shhedro dostavljaet shirokaja nachitannost' avtora. Otstuplenija sostavljajut jarchajshuju primetu shendianskogo stilja, ob#javljajushhego sebja svobodnym ot tradicij i porjadka. Kritika (prezhde vsego S. Dzhonson) rezko osudila pisatel'skij proizvol Sterna. Na dele zhe plan proizvedenija byl produman i sostavlen kuda bolee vnimatel'no, chem kazalos' sovremennikam i pozdnejshim viktorianskim kritikam. Pisanie knig, kogda ono delaetsja umelo, - govoril Stern, - ravnosil'no besede, i, rasskazyvaja istoriju, on sledoval logike zhivogo, soderzhatel'nogo razgovora s chitatelem. Podhodjashhee psihologicheskoe obosnovanie on nashel v uchenii Dzh. Lokka ob associacii idej. Pomimo razumno postigaemoj svjazi idej i predstavlenij, otmechal Lokk, byvajut ih irracional'nye svjazi (takovy sueverija). Stern razbival krupnye vremennye otrezki na fragmenty, kotorye zatem perestavljal, soobrazujas' s umonastroeniem svoih personazhej, ot jetogo ego proizvedenie - otstupatel'noe, no i postupatel'noe v odno i to zhe vremja. Geroj romana Tristram - vovse ne central'nyj personazh, poskol'ku vplot' do tret'ego toma on prebyvaet v zarodyshevom sostojanii, zatem, v period rannego detstva, voznikaet na stranicah ot sluchaja k sluchaju, a zavershajushhaja chast' knigi posvjashhena uhazhivaniju ego djadjushki Tobi Shendi za vdovoj Vodmen, voobshhe imevshemu mesto za neskol'ko let do rozhdenija Tristrama. Mnenija zhe, upomjanutye v zagolovke romana, po bol'shinstvu prinadlezhat Val'teru Shendi, otcu Tristrama, i djadjushke Tobi. Ljubjashhie brat'ja, oni v to zhe vremja ne ponimajut drug druga, poskol'ku Val'ter postojanno uhodit v tumannoe teoretizirovanie, kozyrjaja drevnimi avtoritetami, a ne sklonnyj k filosofii Tobi dumaet tol'ko o voennyh kampanijah. Chitateli-sovremenniki ob#edinjali Sterna s Rable i Servantesom, kotorym on otkryto sledoval, a pozzhe vyjasnilos', chto on byl predvestnikom takih pisatelej, kak Dzh. Dzhojs, Virdzhinija Vulf i U. Folkner, s ih metodom potoka soznanija. Contributor Bio:  Sterne, Laurence Irish-born Laurence Sterne was an eighteenth century English author and Anglican clergyman.
