Krátky popis
Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889,
is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on
the Thames between Kingston and Oxford.The book was initially
intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local
history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the
point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a
distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things
about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern
readers, the jokes seem fresh and witty even today.The three men
are based on Jerome himself (the narrator J.) and two real-life
friends, George Wingrave (who went on to become a senior manager in
Barclays Bank) and Carl Hentschel (the founder of a London printing
business, called Harris in the book), with whom he often took
boating trips. The dog, Montmorency, is entirely fictional, but "as
Jerome admits, developed out of that area of inner consciousness
which, in all Englishmen, contains an element of the dog." The trip
is a typical boating holiday of the time in a Thames camping skiff.
This is just after commercial boat traffic on the Upper Thames had
died out, replaced by the 1880s craze for boating as a leisure
activity.
