Three Men in a Boat de Jerome K. Jerome

Three Men in a Boat

Autor Jerome K. Jerome
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2016
Jerome K. Jerome's classic comedy of English gentlemen bumbling across the countryside has amused and entertained generations of readers. It was first published in 1899, and despite the often hostile reviews from critics, sold thousands of copies around the world. Three Men in a Boat details the escapades of George, Harris, J. (Jerome), and Montmorency, a fox terrier, as their attempt at an idyllic cruise up the River Thames from Kingston Upon Thames to Oxford, quickly spins out of control. The men soon encounter locals and wildlife who hinder or help them on their journey, and miraculously amid the shenanigans, Jerome crafts a detailed travelogue of the region and its cultures.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

While they are discussing the possible illnesses they may have, Jerome, Harris, and George all realize they suffer from the same thing--working too much. Upon the realization, the three best friends decide that they must go on a vacation. After rejecting the ideas of a sea trip or country stay, because Jerome doesn't like the sea, and Harris finds the country to be dull, the men decide on a boat trip. With their bags packed and with the company of Jerome's dog, Montmorency, the friends set off on a boat traveling along the Thames River. They pass notable landmarks and muse about them, questioning their importance, appearance, and origins. Memories are recalled and shared with embellishments. The three men enjoy each other's company until the vacation takes turns that they could never expect. With unpredictable weather, comedic pitfalls, and wild humor, no outcome is impossible on this chaotic vacation. Facing their own shortcomings, flaws, and the uncontrollable weather, Jerome, Harris, and George must work together to remain in good spirits and find the silver linings so they can still enjoy their vacation.

Though originally intended to be a travel guide, the witty jokes, humorous diversions, and realistic characters portrayed in Three Men in a Boat stole the focus of the novel. Based off author Jerome K. Jerome's real-life experiences, Three Men in a Boat is a comedy that has stood the test of time. With undated jokes and hilarity, Jerome's comedic work of escapism, Three Men in a Boat, remains to seem fresh and witty over one hundred years later.

Three Men in a Boat is brought back to life with a modern font and a new, eye-catching design. This classic comedy is an essential to any fun collection. Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat offers a short escape from reality and entertainment from even the most unexpected adventures.

Notă biografică

Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859 - 1927) was an English writer and humourist, best known for the comic travelogue Three Men in a Boat (1889). Other works include the essay collections Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886) and Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow; Three Men on the Bummel, a sequel to Three Men in a Boat and several other novels. Jerome was inspired by his older sister Blandina's love for the theatre and he decided to try his hand at acting in 1877, under the stage name Harold Crichton. He joined a repertory troupe that produced plays on a shoestring budget, often drawing on the actors' own meager resources - Jerome was penniless at the time - to purchase costumes and props. After three years on the road with no evident success, the 21-year-old Jerome decided that he had enough of stage life and sought other occupations. He tried to become a journalist, writing essays, satires and short stories, but most of these were rejected. Over the next few years, he was a school teacher, a packer and a solicitor's clerk. Finally, in 1885, he had some success with On the Stage - and Off (1885), a comic memoir of his experiences with the acting troupe, followed by Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886), a collection of humorous essays which had previously appeared in the newly founded magazine, Home Chimes, the same magazine that would later serialize Three Men in a Boat.

Recenzii

"Wonderfully fresh and funny, and among examples of Victorian humour I would place it high in the pantheon, right up there with The Importance of Being Earnest and The Diary of a Nobody... Jerome's writing... triumphantly stands the test of time, with its comic flights of exaggeration, its occasional archness, and its entirely innocent hint of the camp."
—Daily Telegraph

"A charming comedy of friendship and human nature."
—Independent

I laughed out loud and that doesn't happen often" -- Vic Reeves Daily Express "Brought laughter to a country in the throes of Victorian gloom" The Times "As well as being very funny, it captures the innocence of a time before adventure became synonymous with bungee jumping into ravines in faraway places" Observer
