Beskrivelse

A timeless comic classic, Three Men in a Boat tells the amusing tale of three English friends and their spirited dog, Montmorency, as they navigate the Thames. Its sequel, Three Men on the Bummel, follows the same trio on a humorous journey through Germany.

Two hilarious adventures capturing friendship, mishaps, and witty observations.

Originally published in 1889, Three Men in a Boat quickly became a bestseller and has remained beloved ever since. The story’s blend of rich humor, sharp insights, lyrical musings, and gentle irony about human nature has resonated across generations and cultures.

The three friends’ escapades on the Thames, accompanied by their feisty dog Montmorency, have inspired numerous translations, stage adaptations, films, and television versions.

The follow-up, Three Men on the Bummel, reunites the trio for a "Bummel", a wandering tour through Germany. Their experiences range from delightfully amusing to wildly farcical, with history adding layers of irony to their journey.

This edition is introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Sussex, providing valuable context for these enduring works.
