The Standard spoke of me as a menace to English letters; and the Morning Post as an example of the sad results to be expected from the over-education of the lower orders...' Jerome K. JeromeWhen Three Men in a Boat, a jaunty account of a boating trip down the Thames, was first published in 1889, it became a huge overnight success with the paying public despite the barrage of criticism in the press.It's the knockabout story of three impressionable young clerks, J., George and Harris, who climb aboard a skiff in the company of a fox-terrier called Montmorency. Originally intended to be a travel guide, it somehow turned into an outstanding comic novel and a runaway hit that still has legs. It's never been out of print since.The good-natured jokes and comic set-pieces remain as fresh today as when they were first penned. The gags cover entirely random subjects, including hazardous towropes, the whys and wherefores of late-Victorian suburban life, and the problem of trying to get into a tin of pineapple chunks without an opener. This is a comic gem that brings to life memories of a lost era of innocence and it regularly makes lists of the funniest books of all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"allbestus_search_terms_hide\"\u003e#ASTTD# Search Terms: Джером Джером Клапка , Djerom Djerom Klapka , Arcturus , Arcturus , Arcturus Classics , Arcturus Classics , 9781838575823 , 978-1-83857-582-3 , 1967428\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Arcturus","offers":[{"title":"Новый","offer_id":50797454229668,"sku":"PRODUCT_1967428_ID","price":32.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/allbestus.com\/ru\/products\/three-men-in-a-boat","provider":"Allbestus.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
