C'est pas fait pour aller dans le m me panier, ces oiseaux-l et ce personnage Voyez ma Fanny: elle se d brouillait tout fait gentiment, cette gosse. Elle pouvait pouser un brave type qui aurait fait d'elle le cas qu'elle m ritait sans qu'il y ait autour d'elle ces damn s imb ciles dont nous redoutons b tement l'opinion. Pourquoi, enfin, pourquoi, non, dites un peu, pourquoi est-ce qu'il ne l'a pas laiss e tranquille ? Enfin ...

The household of a Bloomsbury lodging house is composed of the landlady, who cheats her lodgers; a slavey; a major - who drinks and bullies his wife; a shark a cad; a retired bookmaker; and others all as unpleasant as one could wish. The third-floor back is taken by a passer-by a mysterious personage, who interviews all the boarders, and influences them to lead better lives. 6 women, 6 men

George, William, and J. agree on one thing: They're overworked and need a rest. A week on the "the rolling deep," they decide, may be just the thing Off they go with Montmorency, a fox terrier, in joyful anticipation of long, lazy days during a glorious Victorian summer. What happens to these bungling bachelors on their two-week rowing excursion from Kingston-upon-Thames to Oxford and back provides fodder for one of the best-known classics of English humor. Jerome's timeless comedy traces the trio's misadventures as they struggle with camping equipment and meal preparation, confront rampant hypochondria and unreliable weather, and contend with other disasters -- all of which trumpet simple truths that still resonate today. Originally published in 1889, it was ranked by The Guardian as No. 33 of The 100 Greatest Novels of All Time in 2003, and in 2009, Esquire placed it at No. 2 of The Funniest Books Ever.

The eminent wit and perennially popular author of "Three Men in a Boat" and "The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow" here muses on subjects as vital to successful living as 'The Inadvisability of Following Advice' and 'The Disadvantage of Not Getting What One Wants'. With his characteristically charming anecdotal style, Jerome enlivens topics common to everyday life and expounds ebulliently on more profound considerations, setting forth an infectiously buoyant philosophy.

Jerome K. Jerome, mest kand for sin succeroman "Tre man i en bat", gav aven ut tre bocker om "Lattingen" mellan 1886 och 1905. Dessa tre bocker inneholl funderingar och kaserier om sa skilda amnen som "Bor gifta man fa spela golf?", "Om kvinnors skotsel och underhall" och "Om vadret". Allt skrivet med samma underfundiga och lite torra humor som vi kommit att uppfatta som sa typiskt brittisk. Ingen av de tre bockerna hette "Lattsamma funderingar" men det gor nu denna samlingsvolym som Du haller i handen och som innehaller "En lattings lattsamma tankar" fran 1886, "En latting pa andra tankar" fran 1899, samt "Lattsamma tankar av ar 1905" fran 1905. Kanske inte en bok man stracklaser, men val tar fram en mulen och trist eftermiddag och later sig roas av nagot val valt amne.
