Die Mutter aller MännerausflügeMit seiner Schilderung eines Campingurlaubs der drei Freunde George, Harris und J. und ihres Hunds Montmorency schuf Jerome K. Jerome 1889 einen der berühmtesten Klassiker britischen Humors. Dass ihr sympathischer, wenn auch sinnloser Kampf gegen die Tücken des Objekts heute so komisch ist wie eh und je, beweist Gisbert Haefs in seiner beschwingten Neuübersetzung. Eine Bootsfahrt auf der Themse! Zu Zeiten von Königin Viktoria war das der Inbegriff des Ferienglücks. Auch unsere drei Freunde rudern auf der Suche nach Natur und Erholung zwölf Tage lang flussaufwärts: von Kingston nach Maidenhead, Marlow, Dorchester, Reading und Oxford - und dabei von einer Panne zur nächsten. Nichts kann die Freunde aus der Fassung bringen, sämtliche 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 zurückspült.

Es gibt zahlreiche Geschichten über Hunde, aber wer hat schon einmal von einem geldgierigen Vertreter dieser Art gehört? Johannes Steck erzählt eine Geschichte von Jerome K. Jerome über Habgier, die zuweilen sogar bei einem Hund vorkommt ...

Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a 'T'. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather-forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks - not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.'s small fox-terrier Montmorency. Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and proved so popular that Jerome reunited his now older - but not necessarily wiser - heroes in Three Men on the Bummel, for a picaresque bicycle tour of Germany. With their benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian 'clerking classes', both novels hilariously capture the spirit of their age.
