Three Men in a Boat

The plot of his travel novel is one of graceful simplicity: three friends sail for just under two weeks on the Thames from London to Oxford. A fox terrier accompanies them. Nothing spectacular actually takes place, and yet the book is funny and extremely entertaining. It is the pitfalls of everyday life that Jerome scrutinizes. The way Jerome draws philosophical conclusions about human existence from everyday mishaps is not only entertaining, but simply wise. Gröls Classics - English Edition
