They And I

""They and I"" is a humorous and satirical novel written by Jerome K. Jerome, the author of the famous ""Three Men in a Boat"". The story revolves around a middle-aged man named George and his interactions with his family and the people around him. George is a self-proclaimed philosopher who spends his time ruminating on the meaning of life and the absurdities of human behavior.The novel is divided into several chapters, each of which presents a different scenario in George's life. In one chapter, George attends a family gathering where he clashes with his sister-in-law over the proper way to make tea. In another, he gets into a heated argument with a neighbor over the merits of socialism.Throughout the book, Jerome pokes fun at the conventions of Victorian society and the pretensions of the upper-middle class. He also explores themes such as the nature of identity, the search for meaning, and the importance of human connection.Overall, ""They and I"" is a witty and entertaining novel that offers a unique perspective on the social and cultural landscape of late 19th century England.I am a Republican in theory, but it grieved me that a son of mine could be drawn to such companionship. They contrived to keep it for a week--till the police found it one night, artfully hidden behind bushes. Logically, I do not see why stealing apples should be noble and stealing bicycles should be mean, but it struck me that way at the time. It was not the particular steal I had been hoping for.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
