Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against a backdrop of ecclesiastical conflict, this allegorical work revolves around a dispute over a greatcoat involving a church lawyer, an archbishop, and a Dean. Initially suppressed by outraged church leaders in 1759, the manuscript remained hidden until a surprising discovery in 1905. It wasn't until 1914 that the novel was finally published, revealing Laurence Sterne's sharp wit and commentary on church politics. This unique narrative showcases Sterne's literary prowess beyond his well-known work, Tristram Shandy.
