Reseña del libro "Two Gentlemen and a Lady (en Inglés)"

DOROTHY PARKER MEETS LADY AND THE TRAMP: 3 charming dog stories set in 1920s Jazz Age New York—back in print for the first time in decades

Featuring illustrations by America’s 1st female editorial cartoonist, whose comics career began before she even had the right to vote!

Dogs may be man’s best friend, but every friendship is different. Prepare to revisit the glamorous 1920s Jazz Age of The Great Gatsby and meet Nicholas, a gregarious Airedale Terrier whose arrival in a moneyed Long Island home unleashes complete and total chaos throughout the neighbourhood.

Verdun Belle, the lady of the title, is a silky-eared spaniel whose loyalty—and litter of puppies—rallies an entire American regiment fighting on the Western Front during World War I. Then there’s Egon, a very large German Shepherd, accustomed to summering on the Côte d’Azur, and to managing the diaries and daily activities of his human charges, whether they want him to or not. Ranging in tone from urbane irony to poignant sweetness, these are stories to make you smile at the antics of dogs, and guffaw at the even sillier antics of the people who love them.

This delightful collection of 3 stories (The Passing of Nicholas, The Story of Verdun Belle, My Friend Egon) by an Algonquin Round Table wit, rediscovered after decades out of print, shows our canine companions in all their guises: comic, heroic, companionable.

Don’t miss this delightful Jazz Age celebration of the eternal affection that exists between man and dog—even the naughtiest dog!
