Three Men in a Boat

Three Men in a Boat is a hilarious travelogue following three bumbling Englishmen-J. (the narrator), George, and Harris-as they take a boat trip along the River Thames, accompanied by Montmorency, a mischievous fox terrier.

What starts as a simple holiday quickly turns into a series of comic misadventures, from disastrous cooking attempts to run-ins with angry swans. Though originally intended as a serious travel guide, Jerome's wit and satirical take on human nature made it one of the funniest books in English literature.

The book remains hugely popular, thanks to its timeless humor and sharp observations about human foolishness.
