Reproduction of the original: Three Men on the Bummel by K. Jerome Jerome

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.

Es ist sieben Uhr morgens. In der Bibliothek der Bantrys liegt eine Leiche in einem Abendkleid. Wer ist sie? Wie kommt sie hierher? Fragen, auf die weder der Colonel noch seine Frau eine Antwort wissen. Vielleicht kann eine Freundin von Mrs. Bantry helfen - Jane Marple macht sich sofort auf die Jagd. Schnell ist die Leiche identifiziert und das Motiv erkannt: Es ging um Geld, viel Geld. Die beiden Damen quartieren sich im Majestic Hotel in Danemouth ein, wo Miss Marple den Täter zur Strecke bringen will - mit viel Gespür und noch mehr Verstand.

Contiene: Uno studio in rosso; Il segno dei quattro; La valle della paura; Il mastino dei Baskerville; Le avventure di Sherlock Holmes Oggi, dopo un numero incalcolabile di ristampe, queste storie esemplari sono ancora validissime. Ci vien fatto di ripensare a quanto scriveva Vincent Starrett: "Se vi fosse concesso di recuperare una sola giornata, delle tante passate, come vorreste godervi quel magico dono? Col divino Shakespeare o con Villon? Oppure preferireste sperperarlo accompagnondo Sherlock Holmes in una delle sue battute di caccia? Via, signori miei, la risposta non può essere che una!"
