Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a T'. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather-forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.'s small fox-terrier Montmorency.

Lovely little book, perfect for rainy days. The comic situations and the magnetic writing are the key ingredients of Jerome K. Jerome's most popular novel.
"Trzech panów..." wpadło w moje ręce zupełnie przypadkowo. Przyznaję, szukałam darmowego audiobooka na spotify i napatoczył się ten utwór. Od pierwszej chwili mnie porwał ciętym humorem i sporą dawką ironii. Trudno uwierzyć, że to tekst dziewiętnastowieczny. Barwna opowieść o dziarskich facetach, i ...
