Jerome Jerome - Three in a boat (not counting dogs)

Three friends: George, Harris and Jay (short for Jerome) plan to take a pleasure boat ride up the Thames. They intend to have excellent fun, take a break from London with its unhealthy climate and merge with nature. The author threaded the thread of the narrative of a journey along the river like beads, everyday episodes, jokes, funny adventures and finally safely arrived in London, where an excellent dinner in a restaurant reconciles them with life, and they raise their glasses for their wise last act.
