Un piccolo capolavoro dell'umorismo inglese che mette in ridicolo la paura tutta umana dei fantasmi...

I denna uppföljare till "Tre män på en båt" åker de tre vännerna på en cykeltur genom den tyska Svarta skogen. Ett årtionde senare är de äldre, men inte visare. Alla är ivriga att komma bort från England igen. Deras resa blir ett äventyr fyllt av humor, mystik och otaliga värdshus i den täta skogen. Jerome K. Jerome föddes 1859 och dog 1927. Han var en brittisk författare och dramatiker. Mest känd är han för den historiska romanen "Tre män i en båt" (1889).

Poco prima di un anno dalla sua morte, nel 1926, Jerome pubblica questo suo libro che non è solo una autobiografia, ma parla abbondantemente di tutti i suoi tempi, della Londra letteraria, in cui ritroviamo Oscar Wilde, Bernard Show, J, Barrie, e un popolo di giornalisti ed editori, che scrivono per un tanto a parola. Ritroviamo il passaggio dal cavallo all'automobile, il fronte della prima guerra mondiale, le impressioni sull'America e sulla Germania.

"Diary of a pilgrimage" fu scritto nel 1898 ed ha la classica struttura del diario di viaggio, secondo la nota formula di altri libri di Jerome. Il pellegrinaggio in questione è verso il paese di Ober- Ammergau dove ogni 10 anni si svolge la rappresentazione della Passione.

Jerome Klapka Jerome è considerato uno dei maggiori umoristi inglesi. Questo delizioso e poco noto suo libro racconta di quattro amici che decidono di scrivere insieme un romanzo. Durante i loro incontri il romanzo da scrivere diventa un pretesto per racconti, storie, considerazioni, divertenti e tristi, mescolate così come queste emozioni lo sono nella vita. Un libro intenso e ricco di spunti interessanti, che non mancherà , alla fine, un sorriso, e il rimpianto che sia già finito. Cornice musicale di George Gershwin.

Un romanzo che è un pilastro dello humour inglese; una guida turistica tutta particolare, da ascoltare prima di ogni viaggio sul Tamigi.La base dell'umorismo dei Monty Piton. Musiche di Ivan Genesio.

Il y a soixante ans, le 25 novembre 1959, disparaissait Gérard Philipe. Il avait trente-six ans. Juste avant sa mort, ignorant la gravité de son mal, il annotait encore des tragédies grecques, rêvait d'incarner Hamlet et se préparait à devenir, au cinéma, l'Edmond Dantès du Comte de Monte-Cristo. C'est qu'il croyait avoir la vie devant lui. Du dernier été à Ramatuelle au dernier hiver parisien, semaine après semaine, jour après jour, l'acteur le plus accompli de sa génération se préparait, en vérité, à son plus grand rôle, celui d'un éternel jeune homme.

"Le visage en sang, Jacques hurle : 'Mes yeux ! Où sont mes yeux ?' Il vient de les perdre à jamais. En ce jour d'azur, de lilas et de muguet, il entre dans l'obscurité où seuls, désormais, les parfums, les sons et les formes auront des couleurs. "Né en 1924, aveugle à huit ans, résistant à dix-sept, membre du mouvement Défense de la France, Jacques Lusseyran est arrêté en 1943 par la Gestapo, incarcéré à Fresnes puis déporté à Buchenwald.

Little might be thought of the purchase of a skeleton for use in a lab, but a prudent scientist would check its provenance - the departed wearer of those bones may yet have a score to settle. 'The Man of Science' is taken from the second volume of the Victorian Anthologies Horror series, featuring short stories by classic writers of the spooky, the scary and the supernatural. Guaranteed to give you the shivers, each collection includes familiar and loved creepy tales as well as those less well-known.

The third and final collection in this series of reflections written by one of the wittiest and most whimsical men to press pen against paper. As well as his usual take on the foibles of his fellow Englishmen and women, Jerome ruminates, in his typically liberal fashion, about far-flung countries such as Russia, Africa and China. Jerome was never a 'jelly-bellied flag-flapping imperialist', and his vision, experience and worldliness are revealed to us over multiple essays.

The British, it is often said, have a stiff upper lip and a dry sense of humour. It's true, we usually do, and in the case of this perfect compendium of short stories we absolutely do. Listen to our Scottish raconteur J. M. Barrie and English wits Jerome K. Jerome and Edward Lear for perfect proof of that. But humour is many things and from many places, so we also feature Mark Twain, our very talented American friend, to complete this rather witty and clever volume of short stories.

J. D. Salinger, mysterious author of The Catcher in the Rye, is remembered today as a reclusive misanthrope. Jerome Charyn's Salinger is a young American World War II draftee assigned to the Counter Intelligence Corps, a band of secret soldiers who trained with the British. A rifleman and an interrogator, he witnessed all the horrors of the war - from the landing on D-Day to the relentless hand-to-hand combat in the hedgerows of Normandy, to the Battle of the Bulge, and finally to the first Allied entry into a Bavarian death camp, where corpses were piled like cordwood.
