At a young age, author Jerome K. Jerome found a hobby that he was extremely skilled at, and very passionate about-idleness. He was thrilled at the amount of time he could waste doing nothing, frustrating those around him. However, when Jerome falls ill and is ordered to bedrest, this hobby is tested. Then, he learns that doing nothing is only fun when you have other commitments. This relatable sentiment is explored in the title essay of Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow. Taking sometimes mundane topics and twisting them into the extraordinary, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow shares insight on a variety of topics. In On Being in Love Jerome applies his observations of couples to broader realizations of love and romance. Exploring an opposite, polarizing feeling, On Being in the Blues is a touching portrayal of living with depression, struggling through the lows and highs of mental health. While such essays invoke strong emotional reactions, others dabble in lighter topics, such as the attire of babies, the weather, and gluttonous appetites. Yet, whether the topic is profound or ordinary, Jerome finds a way to craft philosophical prose saturated in clever insight. Featuring fourteen witty and philosophical essays, Jerome's Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow considers topics of varying importance, from the author's opinion on cats to suffering through depressive episodes. Each accompanied by a personal, and usually hilarious narrative, these essays reach philosophic conclusions as they entertain with their captivating charm and sarcasm. Written with casual prose decorated with thorough imagery and figurative language, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow imparts fun and frank wisdom on its readers, still delighting audiences over a century after it was first published.

I can't sit still and see another man slaving and working. I want to get up and superintend, and walk round with my hands in my pockets, and tell him what to do. It is my energetic nature. I can't help it.Includes 66 of the original A. Frederics illustrations found in the original 1889 publication.The classic and timeless humorous story, Three Men in a Boat begins with the eponymous "three men" sitting around discussing the different needs in their lives. The three conclude that they are indeed overworked and a holiday is in due order. Their ideas for relaxation are instantly rejected until they hit upon the idea of taking a boating holiday up the River Thames. Thus begins the famous journey whose lore has now spanned three centuries. But lest we never fail to mention their most trustworthy companion-their dog Montmorency!

Con 96 o 97 illustrazioni di Kenneth M. Skeaping --------- Raccontati dopo cena (Told after supper) è un'originale raccolta riccamente illustrata da Kenneth M. Skeaping e pubblicata nel 1891 dall'allora già celebre autore di Tre uomini in barca (per non parlare del cane), romanzo uscito solo due anni prima riscuotendo un ampio, immediato e duraturo successo.Le storie sono tenute assieme da una cornice in cui il narratore trascorre la Vigilia di Natale presso uno zio e, come d'usanza, ascolta e racconta lui stesso storie di fantasmi. Ma è molto più di quel che sembra: ci troviamo al cospetto di un piccolo capolavoro dell'horror comico, nel quale Jerome ironizza su una lunga e radicata tradizione inglese e su tutti i cliché relativi ai racconti di fantasmi che venivano narrati in occasione della veglia natalizia. --------- Tutte queste cose accadono la Vigilia di Natale, e tutte si raccontano la Vigilia di Natale. Raccontare storie di fantasmi in qualsiasi altra sera che non sia la sera del ventiquattro dicembre sarebbe impossibile nella società inglese secondo le regole attuali. Per tale motivo, nel presentare le tristi ma autentiche storie di fantasmi che seguono, ritengo che non sia necessario informare lo studente di letteratura Anglosassone che la data in cui furono raccontate e in cui accaddero gli eventi era... la Vigilia di Natale. ---------- EDIZIONE SENZA ALETTE

This comedy for the theatre has been adapted from Jerome K. Jerome's classic 1889 novel of the same name. It's the original 'Road Trip' and 'Buddy Comedy.' These are no prim and proper Englishmen: these are three young lads out looking to blow off some steam, drink a little bit too much, and hopefully meet more than a few girls. And in 1889, there was no better place to do that than cruising up the Thames in your very own boat, with nothing but the call of the wild as your guide. At least that was their plan. And nothing went according to plan. Blake Heathcote's stage adaptation is a comedic delight, laugh out loud funny and wonderfully theatrical. It premiered in Canada in 1989 and was subsequently given an enthusiastically received production directed by Alan Ayckbourn at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in the Round in North Yorkshire, UK. Published here for the first time, this adaptation of Three Men in a Boat offers something quite a bit different from the usual theatrical fare. As Time Out observed, "[If you're] tired of everything meaning something? Just want to have fun?" - then Three Men in a Boat might be precisely the tonic you have been looking for.

Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, published in 1886, is a collection of humorous essays by Jerome K. ... A second "Idle Thoughts" book, The Second Thoughts of An Idle Fellow, was published in 1898.

Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog, published in 1889, is a humorous account by English writer Jerome K. Jerome of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers - the jokes have been praised as fresh and witty.The three men are based on Jerome himself (the narrator Jerome K. Jerome) and two real-life friends, George Wingrave (who would become a senior manager at Barclays Bank) and Carl Hentschel (the founder of a London printing business, called Harris in the book), with whom Jerome often took boating trips. The dog, Montmorency, is entirely fictional but, "as Jerome admits, developed out of that area of inner consciousness which, in all Englishmen, contains an element of the dog". The trip is a typical boating holiday of the time in a Thames camping skiff. This was just after commercial boat traffic on the Upper Thames had died out, replaced by the 1880s craze for boating as a leisure activity.Following the overwhelming success of Three Men in a Boat, Jerome later published a sequel, about a cycling tour in Germany, titled Three Men on the Bummel (also known as Three Men on Wheels, 1900). (wikipedia.org)

Three Men on the Bummel (also known as Three Men on Wheels) is a humorous novel by Jerome K. Jerome. It was published in 1900, eleven years after his most famous work, Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog).The sequel brings back the three companions who figured in Three Men in a Boat, this time on a bicycle tour through the German Black Forest. D. C. Browning's introduction to the 1957 Everyman's edition says "Like most sequels, it has been compared unfavourably with its parent story, but it was only a little less celebrated than Three Men in a Boat and was for long used as a school book in Germany." Jeremy Nicholas of the Jerome K. Jerome Society regards it as a "comic masterpiece" containing "set pieces" as funny or funnier than those in its predecessor, but, taken as a whole, not as satisfying due to the lack of as strong a unifying thread.
