Jérôme K. Jérôme’s humorous tale “Three Men in a Boat (to Say Nothing of the Dog)” still bears the title of perhaps the funniest book in the world. Surprisingly, the plot isn’t invented. It’s written based on real events, and the characters are taken from the author’s friends. Three young single friends decide to spend their vacation on the Thames without any comforts or conveniences—and, naturally, without women. Astonishing and funny adventures happen to them during an unusual and cheerful journey.
