Produktbeschreibung

The classic comic travelogue about an ill-fated boating holiday on the River Thames Three Men in a Boatis the irreverent tale of a group of friends who, along with a fox terrier named Montmorency, embark on a two-week boating journey up the Thames. Passing by famous landmarks on their way from Kingston to Oxford, the three gloriously underprepared travelers-George, William, and J.-confront the humor in everything from assembling a tent to fending off hostile swans. Originally conceived as a travel guide, the narrative instead evolved into a sharply witty tale replete with historical anecdotes, raucous digressions, and unforgettable misadventures. As funny and relatable today as it was more than a century ago, Three Men in a Boatwas recently ranked by the Guardianas one of the twenty-five best novels of all time and by EsquireUK as one of the top twenty funniest books ever written. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Autorenporträt

Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927) was a British writer and humorist best known for the comic travelogue Three Men in a Boat. Inspired by his honeymoon boat trip on the River Thames, the novel was initially derided by critics as "vulgar," but it soon became a phenomenon on both sides of the Atlantic and has never been out of print.
