Sinopse

Three friends, one dog, and endless laughs on the River Thames.

Three Men in a Boat is Jerome K. Jerome's hilarious and enduring comic novel about three bumbling friends—J., George, and Harris—and their loyal fox terrier Montmorency, as they set out on a boating holiday that quickly turns into a series of ridiculous and unforgettable escapades.

Published in 1889, this quintessentially British farce blends dry wit, absurdity, and keen social observation. Whether fumbling with tents or philosophizing on the miseries of packing, Jerome's characters reflect universal human folly with charm and good humor.

This edition includes classic illustrations and annotations for modern readers, making it the perfect escape for lovers of humor, satire, and travel gone wonderfully wrong.

"Still as funny today as it was over a century ago." — The Guardian
