hree Men in a Boat (Pocket Classic)

Three friends and a dog set off up the Thames for a restful holiday, and almost nothing goes as planned. Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome first appeared late in the nineteenth century and has stayed funny because its comedy comes from people rather than from period detail. The narrator digresses constantly, the boat trip generates one small disaster after another, and the observations about friendship, laziness and self importance land as squarely now as they did then. This pocket classic edition keeps the complete text in a format that travels easily. What this book does well: • Comedy that depends on character rather than dated references • A loose episodic structure that suits short reading sessions • A narrator whose digressions are half the pleasure • A pocket sized edition of the unabridged text A dependable choice for humour readers, classic fiction collectors and students, available at Boipoka.
