Three men in a boat. Finnish
Kolme miestä veneessä
Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"Kolme miestä veneessä" by Jerome K. Jerome is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the amusing misadventures of three friends—George, Harris, and the narrator—along with a dog named Montmorency, as they embark on a boating trip down the Thames River. The narrative captures their witty banter, absurd complaints about health, and comically exaggerated expectations of leisure. The opening of the book introduces the main characters as they sit in a room, lamenting their various fictional ailments and the necessity of rest. George suggests a week-long boat trip to the Thames, which is met with initial resistance from Montmorency, the dog. Ultimately, the friends agree on the trip, leading to comedic discussions on travel preparations, the challenges of tent camping versus staying in hotels, and their amusing expectations of relaxation and adventure. The dialogue sets the tone for a lighthearted exploration of friendship and the follies that accompany their excursion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
