Jerome K. Jerome Bücher

Mit seiner Schilderung einer vertrackten Bootsfahrt auf der Themse schuf Jerome K. Jerome 1889 einen der beliebtesten Klassiker britischen Humors. Sein scharfer, wenn auch wohlwollender Blick entlarvt die Tücken einer Freizeitkultur, die sich bis heute großer Beliebtheit erfreut. Eine Bootsfahrt auf der Themse – zu Zeiten von Königin Viktoria der Inbegriff des Ferienglücks. Die drei Freunde George, Harris und J. rudern auf der Suche nach Natur und Erholung zwölf Tage lang flussaufwärts: von Kingston nach Maidenhead, Marlow, Dorchester, Reading und Oxford – und geraten von einer Panne zur nächsten. Gemeinsam mit Hund Montgomery kämpfen sie einen sympathischen, wenn auch hoffnungslosen Kampf gegen die Tücken des Bootes. Ein Sturz ins kalte Wasser bringt sie nicht aus der Fassung, und auch alle übrigen Missgeschicke, trocken serviert von Erzähler J., wissen sie mit Stil und Witz zu ertragen. Die Gentlemen trösten sich mit der reizvollen Atmosphäre der Themsestädtchen (und in deren Kneipen), bis der Regen sie vorzeitig in die Zivilisation Londons zurücktreibt. Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927) sah sich als Humorist, der sowohl für die Unzulänglichkeiten des Daseins als auch für Kritik an den Zeitumständen zuständig war. In Deutschland erlangte sein Werk in den sechziger Jahren große Popularität, als die Bootsfahrt mit Heinz Erhardt, Walter Giller und Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff verfilmt wurde.

Novela Malvína z Bretaně entstand 1916, als ihr Autor von den traumatischen Erfahrungen des Ersten Weltkriegs geprägt war. Jerome Klapka Jerome, der aufgrund seines Alters nicht in die Armee einberufen wurde, bot seine Dienste dem französischen Roten Kreuz an und verbrachte die Zeit an den Fronten als Sanitätsfahrer. Diese Kriegserlebnisse beeinflussten seine Werke, in denen der charakteristische Humor schwindet. Malvína z Bretaně vereint scharfen Witz und nostalgische Traurigkeit. Es handelt sich um einen äußerst frischen, zauberhaften und liebevollen Erzählung über die zufällige Begegnung eines Kriegsfliegers und einer Fee und die Auswirkungen dieser Begegnung.

A comic masterpiece, Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat" follows J. and his friends George and Harris, who, plagued by hypochondria and general malaise, decide a trip up the Thames is just what they need. However, they are unprepared for the myriad of troubles they encounter, including tow-ropes, unpredictable weather, and tins of pineapple chunks, all exacerbated by the antics of J.'s small fox-terrier, Montmorency. The novel, which was an instant success upon its release in 1889, offers a humorous escape, filled with authorial digressions and a vivid portrayal of the late-Victorian 'clerking classes.' It captures the spirit of its time, reflecting the rise of mass culture, the popularity of tabloids and bestselling novels, and the burgeoning trends of daytripping and bicycling. Through its blend of comedy and social commentary, "Three Men in a Boat" remains a timeless exploration of friendship and the quirks of human nature.

Eine Bootstour auf der Themse hat ihre Tücken, aber es ist doch nur eine Kaffeefahrt im Vergleich zu dem, was die beiden Gentlemen in diesem Buch auf sich nehmen: Mit Schiff und Zug und Pferdewagen fahren sie von London aus über den Kanal und quer durch Belgien und Deutschland zu den Passionsspielen nach Oberammergau. Sie kommen nur langsam voran, aber sie lernen schnell, dass die Welt überall anders eingerichtet ist als zuhause. Unverdrossen kämpfen sie mit fremdem Bettzeug, deutschen Fahrplänen und vollen Bierkrügen. Mit Stil und Witz begegnen sie allem, was sich ihnen in den Weg stellt. Und erkennen am Ende: »Ein Besuch in Deutschland ist für einen Engländer Medizin.« Aber was ist die dazugehörige Krankheit? Mit Drei Mann in einem Boot hat sich Jerome K. Jerome in die Literaturgeschichte eingeschrieben. Kaum ein anderes Buch ist so komisch und das auf so viele verschiedene Arten: komisch wie Monty Python, wie Mr. Bean, wie Mark Twain, komisch wie die Welt. Kaum eines, ausgenommen seine »Fortsetzung«, über die sie hier erstmals auf Deutsch lachen können.

Gemeinsam mit seinen hypochondrischen Freunden George und Harris und einem reichlich nervösen Terrier namens Montmorency geht der nicht minder hypochondrische Ich-Erzähler J. auf große Fahrt: Eine Bootstour führt das seltsame Quartett themseaufwärts über Kingston bis nach Oxford. Doch schon die ersten Bewährungsproben in Mutters freier Natur stellen die Männer samt Hund vor unlösbare Aufgaben und bald jagt eine urkomische Episode die nächste.

Il cielo profuma di neve, si accendono le luci sugli alberi della città. Arriva il periodo più bello dell'anno! Ma com'era il Natale quando al posto delle auto, c'erano le carrozze trainate dai cavalli? Com'era quando non c'erano i centri commerciali, ma le botteghe dei falegnami e i laboratori dei giocattolai? Com'era quando il pane si faceva in casa e invece del riscaldamento c'era la stufa a legna?

Ce lo raccontano i grandi autori della letteratura, in questa raccolta di racconti e brani di romanzi storie straordinarie che sono ormai entrate a far parte della nostra tradizione natalizia.
