Three Men in a Boat (Centaur Classics) [The 100 greatest novels of all time - #75]
"One of the comic gems of the English language." —Robert McCrum
"[Jerome saw] that one of the funniest things a human being has is his conscience." —V. S. Pritchett
Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a ‘T’. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks — not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.’s small fox-terrier Montmorency.
Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and, with its benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian ‘clerking classes’, it hilariously captured the spirit of its age.
