Maggiori informazioni sul libro

A comic masterpiece, Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat" follows J. and his friends George and Harris, who, plagued by hypochondria and general malaise, decide a trip up the Thames is just what they need. However, they are unprepared for the myriad of troubles they encounter, including tow-ropes, unpredictable weather, and tins of pineapple chunks, all exacerbated by the antics of J.'s small fox-terrier, Montmorency. The novel, which was an instant success upon its release in 1889, offers a humorous escape, filled with authorial digressions and a vivid portrayal of the late-Victorian 'clerking classes.' It captures the spirit of its time, reflecting the rise of mass culture, the popularity of tabloids and bestselling novels, and the burgeoning trends of daytripping and bicycling. Through its blend of comedy and social commentary, "Three Men in a Boat" remains a timeless exploration of friendship and the quirks of human nature.
