Tre uomini in barca
Jerome, Jerome K.

Language: Italian | Category: Novel | Audio Book: external webside

Il romanzo, uscito nel 1889, nacque originariamente come opera contenente notizie storico-letterarie, utili per una guida turistica, e avrebbe dovuto intitolarsi La storia del Tamigi. L’editore fece tagliare le divagazioni storico culturali, creando i presupposti per l’enorme successo del libro, snellito rispetto al racconto originale, ma pieno di gag umoristiche. L’opera vendette un milione e mezzo di copie nella sola Gran Bretagna.

Jerome, Jerome K. - Three Men in a Boat - Language: English, Novel - Format: ePub
Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford. The book was intended initially to be a serious travel (More) guide, with accounts of local history of places along the route, but the humorous elements eventually took over, to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages now seem like an unnecessary distraction to the essentially comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers. The jokes seem fresh and witty even today. The three men were based on Jerome himself and two real-life friends, George, and Harris. The dog, Montmorency, however, was entirely fictional, but, as Jerome had remarked, "had much of me in it."
