Molti anni fa ¿ ero ancora molto piccino ¿ abitavamo in una gran casa d¿una strada lunga, dritta e buia dell¿estremità orientale di Londra. Di giorno era rumorosa e affollata: ma di sera placida e solitaria. I fanali a gas, pochi e radi, avevano piuttosto il carattere di fari che di lampioni, e la guardia col passo grave e pesante della sua lunga ronda, pareva che s¿avvicinasse sempre più o si dileguasse, tranne nei brevi momenti in cui si fermava a far stridere una finestra o una porta, o a illuminare con la lanterna qualche vicolo buio che conduceva verso il fiume.

Plongez-vous dans les pages enchanteresses de "Trois hommes dans un bateau, sans parler du chien" et laissez-vous entraîner dans une aventure aussi hilarante qu'inoubliable. Écrit par le maître de l'humour britannique, Jerome K. Jerome, ce livre est un véritable chef-d'¿uvre de la littérature comique.Suivez les péripéties de trois amis excentriques - Jérôme, George et Harris - qui décident de s'embarquer dans une escapade fluviale à bord d'une barque sur la Tamise. Leur objectif ? Fuir la morosité du quotidien et s'évader vers de nouveaux horizons, naviguant au gré des eaux sereines de la rivière. Mais l'aventure ne serait pas complète sans l'ajout d'un membre de la famille bien particulier : Montmorency, leur espiègle et indomptable chien. Avec son comportement frondeur et ses facéties inattendues, Montmorency est sans aucun doute la cerise sur le gâteau de cette odyssée loufoque. Le trio improbable est confronté à une série de situations délirantes et de mésaventures rocambolesques tout au long de leur voyage. Des quiproquos hilarants, des incompréhensions épiques et des rencontres surprenantes ponctuent leur périple, donnant lieu à des scènes cocasses qui feront rire le lecteur à gorge déployée.Cependant, derrière l'éclat de rire et la légèreté apparente, "Trois hommes dans un bateau" est aussi un voyage introspectif. Les personnages nous livrent leurs pensées sur la vie, l'amitié, les absurdités du monde et le sens de l'existence. Entre deux éclats de rire, les mots de Jerome K. Jerome résonnent d'une sagesse subtile, faisant de ce livre une véritable réflexion sur l'humaine condition.

"Trois hommes dans un bateau, sans parler du chien" est un voyage littéraire jubilatoire qui ne manquera pas de charmer les lecteurs de tous âges et de toutes nationalités.Préparez-vous à être entraîné dans un tourbillon d'aventures, de rires et de joies aux côtés de trois compagnons atypiques et de leur fidèle acolyte canin.
