Jerome K. Jerome

Three Men in a Boat

MP3 CD (IDB Productions Jan. 1, 2016)
Jerome K. Jerome’s comical masterpiece was published in 1889 and took the world by storm through its then original hilarious depiction of what was first intended to be a serious, somewhat sentimental travel guide. Soon enough, however, the humor took over, and the story became a brilliantly enchanting novel through its simplicity. Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) is written as a humorous travel guide presented through the eyes of three friends who engage in a lengthy and eventful boat ride on the Thames. Their adventures, the beautiful and interesting historical places they encounter en route, and the three friends’ unlikely and ingeniously thought out adventures make this little novel definitely worth reading. The three companions are Harris, George and the narrator. Aside from the fact that they’re all hypochondriacs, they soon realize that nothing is as easy as they look. They end up encountering strange, vicious animals that seem to be out to get them, take a trip downstream without a paddle and even end up insulting a few German professors on the way. There is never a dull moment on their journey, which will make you want to keep reading till you reach the end. Jerome based the book on himself and his own two good friends. They were the initial inspiration for the three hilarious characters you will meet in the book, and the dog may have been entirely fictional, but Jerome admitted that it had much of his personality. Despite having been published well over a century ago, Three Men in a Boat remains a freshly humorous novel enjoyed by young and old readers alike today. If you enjoy the idea of finding something unexpectedly and delightfully humorous in most everyday events, the story will be perfect for illustrating precisely how anyone can learn from the three curious companions and turn their lives into a genuine, hilarious adventure.
