About this product

Product Information

When J. the narrator, George, Harris and Montmorency the dog set off on their hilarious misadventures, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather-forecasts, imaginary illnesses, butter pats and tins of pineapple chunks. Denounced as vulgar by the literary establishment, Three Men in a Boat nevertheless caught the spirit of the times. The expansion of education and the increase in office workers created a new mass readership, and Jerome's book was especially popular among the 'clerking classes' who longed to be 'free from that fretful haste, that vehement striving, that is every day becoming more and more the bane of nineteenth-century life.' So popular did it prove that Jerome reunited his heroes for a bicycle tour of Germany. Despite some sharp, and with hindsight, prophetic observations of the country, Three Men on the Bummel describes an equally picaresque journey constrained only 'by the necessity of getting back within a given time to the point from which one started'. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

  • funny travel guides

    too bad we don't have such well-turned phrases anymore in modern writing. this is a double-book series, ostensibly written as travel guides. the first takes us around the thames river via a boat and the 3 hapless men who endeavored to go on this type of vacation. they suffer all sorts of difficulties (mostly brought on by their incompetence) and the writing is very amusing. the second guide takes us around germany via bicycles, and there are a lot of funny bits, but not as entertaining as the first book. there are too many nationalistic generalizations, which were acceptable at the time this was written (1900), and actually foreshadows the 1st world war with germany, but still is almost offensive for the modern reader. nevertheless, i am glad i was able to read both by this clever author ...
