George, Harry y Jerome protagonistas también de Tres hombres en una barca necesitados de un profundo cambio en sus vidas, emprenden un nuevo periplo: esta vez viajan a Alemania para desentrañar la idiosincrasia germana. Dados sus temples tan distintos, cada uno concurre con sus propios disparates al desmán común, precipitándose a través de una serie de escenas de naturaleza muy diferente a la que habrían deseado, y mucho menos previsto, y con resultados aún más delirantes, si cabe, que en su anterior aventura. Jerome recrea los tópicos sobre el antagonismo entre alemanes y británicos para generar comicidad, siempre con esa fineza irónica que ofrece segundas interpretaciones, siempre con esa facilidad literaria que caracteriza a uno de los primeros escritores ingleses que abandonó los esquemas victorianos para contribuir con su ingenio a sentar las bases de la novela contemporánea.
Аудиостудия «Ардис» представляет роман Джерома Клапки Джерома «Трое на четырёх колёсах» – роман английского писателя, который на своём веку был и учителем, и подручным стряпчего, артистом, редактором юмористических журналов. Широчайшую известность Джерому-писателю принесла комическая повесть «Трое в одной лодке, не считая собаки». Предлагаемый роман – продолжение истории неунывающих персонажей – Джерома, Гарриса и Джорджа. Решив отдохнуть от размеренной семейной жизни и переменить обстановку, достопочтенные джентльмены на этот раз отправляются в велосипедное путешествие по Германии. Их снова ждут весёлые приключения и комичные ситуации, а слушателей аудиокниги – тонкий и добродушный юмор и целая серия забавных казусов и смешных анекдотов.
In this sequel to Jerome K. Jerome's most famous work «Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)» we have a reunion of the three companions from the first book, minus the dog, who are setting out on a bicycle tour through the Black Forest of Germany. Written near the end of the Victorian bicycle craze in which bicycles became a common fixture amongst the middle-class for recreational purposes, «Three Men on the Bummel» is a masterfully humorous depiction of the era. With numerous comic mishaps Jerome crafts a travelogue in which fans of the first book will find an entertaining and funny addition to the story of these three interesting characters.
Three invalids.—Sufferings of George and Harris.—A victim to one hundred and seven fatal maladies.—Useful prescriptions.—Cure for liver complaint in children.—We agree that we are overworked, and need rest.—A week on the rolling deep?—George suggests the River.—Montmorency lodges an objection.—Original motion carried by majority of three to one.<br><br>There were four of us—George, and William Samuel Harris, and myself, and Montmorency. We were sitting in my room, smoking, and talking about how bad we were—bad from a medical point of view I mean, of course.<br><br>We were all feeling seedy, and we were getting quite nervous about it. Harris said he felt such extraordinary fits of giddiness come over him at times, that he hardly knew what he was doing; and then George said that he had fits of giddiness too, and hardly knew what he was doing. With me, it was my liver that was out of order. I knew it was my liver that was out of order, because I had just been reading a patent liver-pill circular,…
In an attempt to escape the stresses of city life three friends, J, Harris and George, plus their faithful canine companion Montmorency, decide to take a boating jaunt between Kingston and Oxford. However a trip intended to relax and rejuvenate quickly becomes a journey of unquenchable comedy, with deathdefying battles with swans, culinary disasters and contrary tea kettles just a few of the challenges facing the trio along the way.
