Laziness has always been my strong point. I don't boast about it; it's something like a gift, and very few possess it. There are many lazy people and many procrastinators, but an authentic lazy person is a rare breed. They are not someone who wanders aimlessly with their hands in their pockets. On the contrary, their main characteristic is that they are always terribly busy. No one can enjoy laziness without having plenty of work to do.

A monumental treatise (nearly two hundred twenty pages) on all the great issues of life (from love and laziness to poverty and furnished apartments), by the "ambassador" of British humor. The English satirical writer Jerome K. Jerome left school at fourteen, worked as a clerk on the railways, a teacher, an actor in a touring company, and a journalist, until his second book, The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, was published in installments in 1886, achieving immediate success with its "warm" and subversive humor.

Western thought and Eastern philosophy, phlegmatic humorous writing and fundamental essays, timeless poetry and immortal short prose, texts that marked their era and continue to be read everywhere: this is the "selected" series from Oxy Publications.
