Che succede se un gruppo di cinque o sei inglesi si ritrovano attorno ad un fuoco, la sera della Vigilia di Natale come consuetudine, sorseggiando gin e whisky, per raccontarsi storie (assolutamente veritiere) di fantasmi? Succede che i fantasmi compaiono davvero, e all'ennesimo giro di gin, non ci sono più dubbi. Jerome K. Jerome stesso, con una sfrenata ironia britannica, prende le vesti del raccontatore in prima persona, riferendo di spiriti che più che farci morire dalla paura ci fanno morire dalle risate.

In Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K. Jerome delivers a charming and hilariously absurd account of a boating trip gone awry. When three friends—George, Harris, and the narrator—decide to take a relaxing journey down the River Thames, they set off with grand plans of leisure and adventure. What follows is a series of comically disastrous events that reveal just how little they know about boating, camping, or life in general. With plenty of misadventures, misunderstandings, and laugh-out-loud moments, the trio’s journey becomes a delightful satire on the absurdities of human nature.

Poco prima di un anno dalla sua morte, nel 1926, Jerome pubblica questo suo libro che non è solo una autobiografia, ma parla abbondantemente di tutti i suoi tempi, della Londra letteraria, in cui ritroviamo Oscar Wilde, Bernard Show, J, Barrie, e un popolo di giornalisti ed editori, che scrivono per un tanto a parola. Ritroviamo il passaggio dal cavallo all'automobile, il fronte della prima guerra mondiale, le impressioni sull'America e sulla Germania.

Humor and overall literary style have changed a lot in the 132 years since this book was published in 1889. However, the information remains informative, primarily because there is a certain amount of truthfulness about it that manages to disregard the passage of time. It takes in some unusual events that either did happen, or could have. It involves three men and a dog that is sometimes smarter than any of them. Between them, they come up with some depth of thought and at least a minor ability to understand human nature.
