THIS IS THE ANNOTATED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL BOOK. ACTUALLY THIS IS SUMMARY OF THE ORIGINAL BOOK. WE HAD ANNOTATED THIS BOOK BY MAKING A SUMMARY OF 50%-60% OF THE ORIGINAL BOOK. THIS IS A AROUND 39000 WORDS SUMMARY. THE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK IS WRITTEN AS FOLLOWS.Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by English writer Jerome K. Jerome of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon the Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers - the jokes have been praised as fresh and witty. The three men are based on Jerome himself (the narrator Jerome K. Jerome) and two real-life friends, George Wingrave (who would become a senior manager at Barclays Bank) and Carl Hentschel (the founder of a London printing business, called Harris in the book), with whom Jerome often took boating trips. The dog, Montmorency, is entirely fictional but, "as Jerome admits, developed out of that area of inner consciousness which, in all Englishmen, contains an element of the dog". The trip is a typical boating holiday of the time in a Thames camping skiff. This was just after commercial boat traffic on the Upper Thames had died out, replaced by the 1880s craze for boating as a leisure activity. Following the overwhelming success of Three Men in a Boat, Jerome later published a sequel, about a cycling tour in Germany, titled Three Men on the Bummel.The story begins by introducing George, Harris, Jerome (always referred to as "J."), and Jerome's dog, named Montmorency. The men are spending an evening in J.'s room, smoking and discussing illnesses from which they fancy they suffer. They conclude that they are all suffering from "overwork", and need a holiday. A stay in the country and a sea trip are both considered. The country stay is rejected because Harris claims that it would be dull, the sea-trip after J. describes bad experiences of his brother-in-law and a friend on sea trips. The three eventually decide on a boating holiday up the River Thames, from Kingston upon the Thames to Oxford, during which they will camp, notwithstanding more of J.'s anecdotes about previous mishaps with tents and camping stoves.They set off the following Saturday. George must go to work that day, so J. and Harris make their way to Kingston by train. They cannot find the right train at Waterloo station (the station's confusing layout was a well-known theme of Victorian comedy) so they bribe a train driver to take his train to Kingston, where they collect the hired boat and start the journey. They meet George further up the river at Weybridge.The remainder of the story describes their river journey and the incidents that occur. The book's original purpose as a guidebook is apparent as J., the narrator, describes passing landmarks and villages such as Hampton Court Palace, Hampton Church, Magna Carta Island and Monkey Island, and muses on historical associations of these places. However, he frequently digresses into humorous anecdotes that range from the unreliability of barometers for weather forecasting to the difficulties encountered when learning to play the Scottish bagpipes. The most frequent topics of J.'s anecdotes are river pastimes such as fishing and boating and the difficulties they present to the inexperienced and unwary and to the three men on previous boating trips.

Now a Major Motion Picture Directed by George Clooney The #1 New York Times–bestselling story about the American Olympic rowing triumph in Nazi Germany—from the author of Facing the Mountain. For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.

Artwork that bring to life certain episodes in the story Suggestions for further reading and website links that the reader will find informative and helpful Three Men in a Boat is a humorous story of three men and a dog who undertake a boating trip on the Thames. Jerome K Jerome based the characters of the three men on himself and his two friends, George Wingrave (George) and Carl Hentschel (Harris). However, the dog Montmorency is fictional, whose antics add substantially to the humour in the story. When the book was first published, it was not liked by critics, who considered the writing flippant. The book professed no wish to improve the reader's mind, intent merely on sharing the excitement and fun of a boating holiday. Unlike the other writers of his period, Jerome used colloquial language to portray the tone of exuberance and fun. In both content and language, therefore, it was a complete contrast to the kind of books that were written at that time. However, the general public liked the book for precisely this very reason, as it brought a whiff of fresh air to staid Victorian manners and society. At a time when hard work and earnest endeavour were lauded, and the country prided itself on its commercial and political progress, the story of three young men doing nothing more than boating down the Thames was a refreshing change. The book was an instant bestseller and was reprinted many times, so much so that its publisher, J W Arrowsmith, wondered whether the public was eating the copies! The book has stood the test of time and continues to amuse readers even today. The humour in the book is based on a fine insight into human nature, exposing pretensions to refinement and knowledge in a lighthearted way. The book has been adapted to almost every conceivable medium - television, films, musicals, radio, and even audio tapes.
