| Summary |
"Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)" by Jerome K. Jerome is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows three friends—George, Harris, and the narrator, along with their dog Montmorency—who embark on a comedic and chaotic boating trip on the Thames as a remedy for their various ailments and to seek some rest and relaxation from their busy lives. At the start of the book, the trio discusses their health woes, convinced they all suffer from a myriad of conditions. They decide that a boating expedition would be the ideal way to rejuvenate themselves, and they begin planning their trip, which leads to amusing arguments and whimsical considerations about their journey. The opening chapters set the tone for a lighthearted exploration of friendship, adventure, and the misadventures that arise from their well-intentioned plans, capturing the comedic essence of their personalities and the challenges they face even before they set sail.
