''I fell out of bed laughing at Three Men in a Boat'' Guardian What could be more relaxing than a refreshing holiday on the river with your two best friends and faithful canine companion, Montmorency? However, as J. discovers, there is more to life on the waves than meets the eye - including navigational challenges, culinary disasters, and heroic battles with swans, kettles and tins of pineapple. Jerome K. Jerome''s delightful novel has kept readers smiling for years and his prose has found a perfect partner in Vic Reeves''s glorious and witty illustrations.

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.

Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and proved so popular that Jerome reunited his now older - but not necessarily wiser - heroes in Three Men on the Bummel, for a picaresque bicycle tour of Germany. With their benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian ''clerking classes'', both novels hilariously capture the spirit of their age.

Introduced and Annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.Three Men in a Boat is a comic classic. When it first appeared in 1889 it became a best seller, and has remained popular ever since. This motley novel has not only been translated into many languages but has also been staged, filmed, televised and imitated. The adventures and misfortunes on the Thames of the three English friends and their pugnacious dog, Montmorency, provide rich humour, shrewd observations, lyrical reflections, and, predominantly, genially ironic perceptions of human fallibility.The sequel, Three Men on the Bummel, reunites the three friends for their ‘Bummel’ (‘roaming or wandering’) through Germany. The results vary from the seductively titillating to the outrageously farcical; and subsequent history has laden the narrative with ironies.

Audiokniha: Ve volném pokračování slavného románu Tři muži ve člunu se tři svérázní přátelé vydávají na cyklistický výlet do Německa a opět zažívají nezapomenutelné příhody. Samozřejmě dojde i na několik nebezpečných dobrodružství – Harris urazí úřední osobu, Jerome zcizí kolo a George vstupuje na dráhu černého pasažéra. Českého posluchače jistě zaujme, že se „tři muži“ zastaví také v Karlových Varech a Praze. Jak vypadala tato města před sto lety v očích anglických džentlmenů? Jerome Klapka Jerome vám odpoví se svým typickým humorem. Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859–1927) anglický spisovatel a redaktor, známý zejména pro své humoristické povídky a cestopisy. Rodák z Walsallu ve Staffordshire neměl bezstarostné mládí. V patnácti letech Jerome osiřel a živil se jako úředník na dráze, ochotnický herec a začínající spisovatel. To se však radikálně změnilo, když ve třiceti letech přinesl do redakce časopisu Home Chimes rukopis Tří mužů ve člunu. Časopisecký seriál se brzy proměnil v knihu, která se jen v Anglii do dnešních dnů dočkala stovky vydání a byla přeložena snad do všech světových jazyků. Zanedlouho se autor k postavám Jeroma, Harrise a George vrátil ve volném (a neméně úspěšném) pokračování Tři muži na toulkách.

Audiokniha: Pro sváteční zahálku... Jeden z nejpopulárnějších humoristů evropské literatury, Jerome Klapka Jerome, známý autor Tří mužů ve člunu byl ve svém osobním životě velký milovník lenošení. I svůj měsíčník nazval "Lenoch". Ve sbírce humoristických esejů Myšlenky lenivého člověka (vydané 1988) vlídně a s typickým ironickým anglickým vtipem uvažuje o jevech tak příznačných pro klidnou a příjemnou zahálku: o počasí, o kočkách a psech, o marnivosti a ješitných lidech, o podivuhodných zákrutinách paměti, o lenošení. Jeho zkušenosti a úvahy jsou však, i přes velkou časovou vzdálenost, stále platné, zajímavé a pozoruhodné. Svatopluk Beneš, herec s noblesou gentlemana, je ideálním tlumočníkem názorů tohoto anglického přívětivého ironika. Přívětivý anglický humor v podání českého gentlemana

Audiokniha: Anglický spisovatel Jerome Klapka Jerome si od svých 21 let psal eseje a krátké humoristické příběhy, které shrnul v roce 1889 do knihy Tři muži ve člunu o cestě několika přátel, plujících po Temži a bavících sebe navzájem nejrůznějšími historkami ze života. Milionů prodaných výtisků se dočkalo nejen toto vydání, ale i pokračování z roku 1900 a nazvané Tři muži na toulkách. Miroslav Horníček v úvodu četby vzpomíná na citace celých kapitol těchto knih zpaměti vždy, když mu bylo dobře s přáteli, stejnými nadšenci Jeromova díla jako on sám. S požitkem labužníka se pak Horníček noří do vyprávění, které tak důvěrně zná a miluje a stejně jako miliony dalších obdivovatelů tohoto díla je potřebuje znovu a znovu slyšet či říkat, neboť jsou osvěžující potravou pro jeho duši.

K sepsání slavného anglického humoristického románu Tři muži ve člunu (o psu nemluvě) (1889) inspirovaly jeho autora, spisovatele Jeroma Klapku Jeroma, vlastní zážitky z dob, kdy jezdil se svýma dvěma přáteli pravidelně na vodu. Autor nejprve pojal tuto svoji nejznámější knihu jako cestopis, v nakladatelství jej však přesvědčili, aby faktografické popisy zkrátil a místo toho naopak rozšířil humoristické pasáže. Příběh je sledem veselých příhod trojice veslařů a psa Montmorencyho, který je na cestě provází, prodchnutých jemným anglickým humorem, s mnoha odbočkami a líčením prostředí míst a lidí v okolí Temže. Kniha, po níž následovalo ještě pokračování s názvem Tři muži na toulkách (1900), ani po 130 letech od vydání neztratila své čtenářské kouzlo.

As they relax after dinner on Christmas Eve, the members of a family and their guests turn to telling ghost stories. These ghoulish accounts range from the melancholy to the macabre, and get increasingly bizarre as the ghosts leap out of the tales and make an appearance in the family’s home. Fact and fiction, the real and unreal collide, until the reader is not sure who is haunting whom.A masterful work of comic horror, Jerome K. Jerome’s After-Supper Ghost Stories is a witty look at why Christmas Eve is so perfect for ghost stories and why ghosts love the Yuletide season.

In poems that express an oblique and resonant disquiet (''people dream of a lady/ in a boat, dressed in red/ petticoat, adrift and weeping'') and a sequence that addresses memories of the death of the Grenadian revolution, too painful to confront until now, Merle Collins writes of a Caribbean adrift, amnesiac and in danger of nihilistic despair. But she also achieves a life-enhancing and consoling perspective on those griefs. She does this by revisiting the hopes and humanities of the people involved, recreating them in all their concrete particularity, or by speaking through the voice of an eighty-year-old woman ''making miracle/ with little money because turn hand is life lesson'', and in writing poems that celebrate love, the world of children and the splendours of Caribbean nature. Her poems take the ''new dead ancestors back to/ mountain to feed the fountain/ of dreams again.''Merle Collins is Grenadian. She is the author of two novels, a collection of short stories and two previous collections of poetry. She teaches Caribbean literature at the University of Maryland.

This is a book about men who love women. But it is not a collection of love stories. It is a study of the secret, erotic fantasies that men have always kept hidden, a taboo-shattering investigation that reveals the deepest, most conflicting feelings that men have about women, men and their own sexuality. Men in Love goes beyond the socio-sexual cliché of woman seen as either madonna or whore to reveal the conflict of love and rage at the centre of men''s emotions and erotic desires. Based on thousands of candid responses from men ranging from their teens to their sixties, Men in Love - startling and shocking - will change men''s deepest feelings about their sexuality and make the women who care about them understand them as never before.

For the last decade, Giuseppe Santamaria has observed and recorded the men of big cities while they cross streets, sit at cafes, and pose, momentarily, on busy sidewalks. Traveling the continents, Giuseppe has documented the evolution of men's identities, communicated through their attitude and style as they move through their different concrete jungles.With photos shot in Sydney, New York, Tokyo, Milan, London, Melbourne, Toronto, L.A., Madrid, Florence and Paris, this collection is a truly global retrospective of men's street fashion. Filled with striking photographs, Men In This Town is a record of the men who stick out in a crowd with their particular sense of just who and what they are.For anyone with a love of photography, fashion, or culture's evolution, Giuseppe's photography collection is a must have.

''One of his most erotic and emotionally charged stories'' The Times Two people who didn''t know each other and who had come together by a miracle in the great city, and who now clung desperately to each other, as if already they felt a chilly solitude settling in.A divorced actor and a lonely woman, both adrift in New York, meet by chance in an all-night diner. It is the start of something, though neither is sure what. As they move through neon-lit streets, bars, rented rooms and cheap motels, these two lost souls struggle to understand what it is that has brought them, in spite of themselves, inexorably together.''Simenon casts his characteristic spell from the opening lines. There is an evanescent, hallucinatory, almost dreamlike quality throughout'' Daily Telegraph''Three Bedrooms in Manhattan is about how we resist love, how we get dragged into it, spat out, dragged back in against our will'' Los Angeles Times

In Men in White Suits, Simon Hughes meets some of the most colourful characters to have played for Liverpool Football Club during the 1990s. The resulting interviews, set against the historical backdrop of both the club and the city, deliver a rich portrait of life at Anfield during a decade when on-field frustrations were symptomatic of off-the-field mismanagement and ill-discipline. After the shock resignation of Dalglish and Graeme Souness''s ill-fated reign, the Reds – under the stewardship of Roy Evans – displayed a breathtaking style led by a supremely talented young group of British players whose names featured as regularly on the front pages of the tabloids as they did on the back. The Daily Mail was the first newspaper to tag Evans’s team as the Spice Boys. Yet despite their flaws, this was a rare group of individuals: mavericks, playboys, goal-scorers and luckless defenders. Wearing off-white Armani suits, their confident personalities were exemplified in their pre-match walk around Wembley before the 1996 FA Cup final (a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United).In stark contrast to the media-coached, on-message interviews given by today’s top stars, the blunt, ribald and sometimes cutting recollections of the footballers featured in Men in White Suits ...

First published in 1962, Men in the Sun is both a classic of Arab literature, and of what Kanafani himself would term 'resistance literature'. Three Palestinian men embark on a brutal and treacherous odyssey across the Iraqi desert to Kuwait, not for liberation but material betterment. Their driver, a jaded, fat, former freedom fighter, living with his own compromises and contradictions, makes for a garrulous if cavalier companion. Both the indifferent brutality of border bureaucracy and the blank aggression of the sun see that things grow steadily more stark.The author's ardent politics are apparent throughout, but the novel's characters are their own beings: ambivalent, conflicted creatures of context. While breezily conversational, with disarming, dreamy strokes of lyricism, this short novel delivers a shuddering and grounding dose of true horror.As well as the titular novella, the book features six short stories, including the timelessly resonant 'Letter From Gaza' , Kanafani's first published work, written when he twenty, and the essential 'The Land of Sad Oranges'.
