Jerome Klapka Jerome Libri

Divenuto ormai un classico della letteratura inglese, Tre uomini in barca racconta le avventure di Jerome, Harris e George: tre amici, una barca e il fiume, perchè nulla è più adatto di una gita per rilassare un po' i nervi... se non fosse che l'organizzazione fa acqua da tutte le parti. E solo il cane Montmorency sembra godersi questa buffa avventura, ricca di imprevisti, incomprensioni e divertimento. Nel libro Tre uomini a zonzo ritroviamo i tre amici, che si propongono di visitare la Germania in bicicletta, per cambiare aria e sfuggire alla routine. Ma la loro avventura comincia ancora prima di partire: ad esempio, non è per niente facile convincere le mogli che quel viaggio è necessario, poi c'è da pensare all'itinerario, ai bagagli e a come organizzare i turni sul tandem. Uno scapolo e due ammogliati, tre caratteri a volte incompatibili trascorrono una vacanza vivacizzata da una serie di divertenti disavventure. Con una buona dose di umorismo, comunque, si riesce a superare ogni difficoltà, e andare a zonzo in compagnia si rivela un'esperienza meravigliosa.

Il viaggio esilarante di tre amici molto, molto inglesi ha come meta la Germania. Questa volta niente barca: si va in bicicletta. Tre avventurieri pasticcioni, pronti a ficcarsi in un sacco di guai in una vacanza costellata di colpi di scena e soffusa di umorismo inlgese.

A comic masterpiece that has never been out of print since it was first published in 1889, Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat includes an introduction and notes by Jeremy Lewis in Penguin Classics. Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a 'T'. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks - not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.'s small fox-terrier Montmorency. Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and, with its benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian 'clerking classes', it hilariously captured the spirit of its age. In his introduction, Jeremy Lewis examines Jerome K. Jerome's life and times, and the changing world of Victorian England he depicts - from the rise of a new mass-culture of tabloids and bestselling novels to crazes for daytripping and bicycling.
