内容简介

面对严肃的肤浅，深刻露出了玩世不恭的微笑。

幽默文学史上的翘楚之作 《绅士》杂志评为“史上最幽默的五十部文学作品”之一

他的讽刺像没有杂质的阳光，让人感到温暖安心，在捧腹大笑间读出生活的真善美。

《三怪客泛舟记》是一部让人心情放松的幽默小说，曾被《绅士》杂志评为“史上最幽默的五十部文学作品”之一。小说主要围绕三个怪客和一只狗的一次泛舟之旅展开，充满了夸张和非现实的情节，他们掉进水里，把东西弄丢，吵架，又笑着和好，互相讲故事；他们个个有远大的抱负，热情也很高，可就是到了早上谁也起不来；他们都想当伟大的探险家，可事实上，只要一下雨，他们还是愿意待在暖和的火炉边，坐在舒适的椅子里——读来让人乐而忘倦。而在故事的幽默机智之外，字里行间还洋溢着一种爱。作者显然是刀子嘴豆腐心，说话句句刻薄，但他的讽刺却包含着深沉的宽容，像没有杂质的阳光，让人感到温暖安心，在捧腹大笑间读出生活的真善美。

Three Men in a Boat remains one of the best-loved and most entertaining comic novels.

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features illustrations by A. Frederics and an afterword by David Stuart Davies.

Join our young heroes J., George and Harris (not forgetting Montmorency, the mischievous, irascible fox terrier) as they take a boating holiday along the Thames. Their aim is to escape the weary workaday world and improve their health, but they are ill prepared for the various escapades, difficulties and vicissitudes that they encounter along the watery way. The adventures of these incompetent innocents abroad are magnified to epic proportions by the storyteller, J. His narration gives the book not only a wonderful endearing freshness but also a series of hilarious moments of timeless comedy.

作者简介

J.K.杰罗姆（Jerome K.Jerome，1859—1927），英国著名幽默小说家、散文家、戏剧家。其作品以幽默睿智见长，饱含对人生的感悟。杰作《三怪客泛舟记》和《闲人痴想录》至今仍是英语世界广受欢迎的名作，奠定了他在世界文坛的独特地位。杰罗姆出生于英国斯坦福特郡，小时候经历了家境由盛到衰的种种变故。他的第一份工作是铁路职员，后来跟着一个巡回团周游英伦诸岛，再往后又做过记者、佣金代理、律师事务所助理等工作。变换不定的角色给了他丰富的社会阅历，为其写作预备了充足的素材。

Jerome Klapka Jerome was born in Walsall, Staffordshire, in 1859 but was brought up and educated in London. He started work as a railway clerk at fourteen, and later was employed as a schoolmaster, actor and journalist. He published two volumes of comic essays and in 1889 Three Men in a Boat. This was an instant success. His new-found wealth enabled him to become one of the founders of The Idler, a humorous magazine which published pieces by W. W. Jacobs, Bret Harte, Mark Twain and others. In 1900 he penned a sequel, The Men on a Bummel, which followed three protagonists on a walking tour through Germany. Jerome wrote a number of plays, the most famous being The Passing of the Third Floor Back, which is the morality tale set in a boarding-house where a charismatic Christ-like figure transforms the lives of its inhabitants. Jerome married in 1888 and had a daughter. He served as an ambulance driver on the Western Front in World War I and died in 1927.
