Three Man in the Boat

Three Men in a Boat is a classic comic novel first published in 1889. Written by Jerome K. Jerome, it follows three friends—George, Harris, and the narrator J—on a boating holiday along the River Thames. The story humorously describes their travel mishaps, exaggerated worries, and observations of everyday life. Although presented as a travel guide, the book is best known for its witty tone and gentle satire of Victorian society. Its vivid descriptions, memorable characters, and timeless humor have made it one of the most popular and enduring works of English literature.
