A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy

Japanese: センチメンタル・ジャーニー(英語表記)A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy
A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy
A travelogue by the English novelist L. Sterne. Published in 1768. It is an emotional travelogue, completely different in style from the typical travelogues of the time, which described nature, scenery and facts. It covers Calais, Rouen, Paris, Bourbonnais and Lyon, but the description of Italy, as mentioned in the title, is missing because the author died of illness and it ended in two volumes. It is based on the author's travels for medical treatment (1765-66), but is written not in accordance with his illness or his actions, but rather with the author's emotional reactions to specific events, and the nature of leisure is emphasized throughout the work.

Japanese:
イギリスの小説家L.スターンの旅行記。1768年刊。自然,風景や事実を叙述するという当時一般の旅行記とはまったく趣を異にした感情旅行記。カレー,ルーアン,パリ,ブールボネー,リヨンに至るが,表題にあるイタリアの記述がないのは作者が病没して2巻で終わったためである。作者の病気療養のための旅行(1765‐66)に基づいているが,病気とか作者の行動に即してではなく,特定の事件に対する作者の情緒的反応を中心に書かれ,全体に遊びの特質が前面に押し出されている。
