Böcker av Jerome Jerome

Eravamo in quattro: Giorgio, Guglielmo Samuele Harris, io e Montmorency. Seduti nella mia stanza, si fumava e si parlava di come stessimo male... male, intendo, rispetto alla salute. Ci sentivamo tutti sfiaccati e ne eravamo impensieriti. Harris diceva che a volte si sentiva assalito da tali strani accessi di vertigine, che sapeva a pena che si facesse; e poi Giorgio disse che anche lui era assalito da accessi di vertigine e appena sapeva anche lui che si facesse. Io poi avevo il fegato ammalato.

The household of a Bloomsbury lodging house is composed of the landlady, who cheats her lodgers; a slavey; a major - who drinks and bullies his wife; a shark a cad; a retired bookmaker; and others all as unpleasant as one could wish. The third-floor back is taken by a passer-by a mysterious personage, who interviews all the boarders, and influences them to lead better lives.| 6 women, 6 men

Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat (To say nothing of the dog), published in 1889, is the hilarious account of three men, a dog and their boating holiday on the Thames. Originally intended to be a serious travel guide, the book is now known for its compelling humour and gentle mockery of English society in the 1880s.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Jerome K. Jerome, mest känd för sin succéroman "Tre män i en båt", gav även ut tre böcker om "Lättingen" mellan 1886 och 1905. Dessa tre böcker innehöll funderingar och kåserier om så skilda ämnen som "Bör gifta män få spela golf?", "Om kvinnors skötsel och underhåll" och "Om vädret". Allt skrivet med samma underfundiga och lite torra humor som vi kommit att uppfatta som så typiskt brittisk. Ingen av de tre böckerna hette "Lättsamma funderingar" men det gör nu denna samlingsvolym som Du håller i handen och som innehåller "En lättings lättsamma tankar" från 1886, "En lätting på andra tankar" från 1899, samt "Lättsamma tankar av år 1905" från 1905. Kanske inte en bok man sträckläser, men väl tar fram en mulen och trist eftermiddag och låter sig roas av något väl valt ämne.
