Fortfarande efter 120 år framstår Tre män i en båt författad av engelsmannen Jerome K Jerome som en av de kvickaste och roligaste böckerna. De tre vännerna skall tillbringa en kortare semester på Themsen. Vi får följa huvudpersonerna och deras hund genom en lång rad dråpliga situationer. Boken må vara skriven på 1800 talet men ger oss anledningar att konstatera att det aldrig blir omodernt att skoja om tillkortakommanden i det dagliga livet. Ett rejält magplask i floden ÄR roligt även om det är över hundra år gammalt.

In einem Boot mit Axel Milberg. Eine Bootsfahrt auf der Themse! Zu Zeiten von Königin Victoria war das der Inbegriff des Ferienglücks.

While pretending to be an account of an epic journey rowing a boat up the Thames, this hilarious audiobook makes memorable side trips into such matters as hypochondria, the charms of graves and epitaphs, being lost in a maze, and how to sing a comic song - all explored with wit and elegance.
