Recenzii

"Wonderfully fresh and funny, and among examples of Victorian humour I would place it high in the pantheon, right up there with The Importance of Being Earnest and The Diary of a Nobody... Jerome's writing... triumphantly stands the test of time, with its comic flights of exaggeration, its occasional archness, and its entirely innocent hint of the camp."
—Daily Telegraph

"A charming comedy of friendship and human nature."
—Independent

I laughed out loud and that doesn't happen often" -- Vic Reeves Daily Express "Brought laughter to a country in the throes of Victorian gloom" The Times "As well as being very funny, it captures the innocence of a time before adventure became synonymous with bungee jumping into ravines in faraway places" Observer

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

While they are discussing the possible illnesses they may have, Jerome, Harris, and George all realize they suffer from the same thing--working too much. Upon the realization, the three best friends decide that they must go on a vacation. After rejecting the ideas of a sea trip or country stay, because Jerome doesn't like the sea, and Harris finds the country to be dull, the men decide on a boat trip. With their bags packed and with the company of Jerome's dog, Montmorency, the friends set off on a boat traveling along the Thames River. They pass notable landmarks and muse about them, questioning their importance, appearance, and origins. Memories are recalled and shared with embellishments. The three men enjoy each other's company until the vacation takes turns that they could never expect. With unpredictable weather, comedic pitfalls, and wild humor, no outcome is impossible on this chaotic vacation. Facing their own shortcomings, flaws, and the uncontrollable weather, Jerome, Harris, and George must work together to remain in good spirits and find the silver linings so they can still enjoy their vacation.

Though originally intended to be a travel guide, the witty jokes, humorous diversions, and realistic characters portrayed in Three Men in a Boat stole the focus of the novel. Based off author Jerome K. Jerome's real-life experiences, Three Men in a Boat is a comedy that has stood the test of time. With undated jokes and hilarity, Jerome's comedic work of escapism, Three Men in a Boat, remains to seem fresh and witty over one hundred years later.

Three Men in a Boat is brought back to life with a modern font and a new, eye-catching design. This classic comedy is an essential to any fun collection. Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat offers a short escape from reality and entertainment from even the most unexpected adventures.
