This book is not an immortal travel book: it is not a dangerous voyage across the ocean or a rafting adventure down the Amazon, but a little trip in a little boat.The tone of the book is characterized by banter, and it is mercilessly sarcastic, both to others and to ourselves. Apart from the main line of the main character's boat ride on the Thames, there are also many anecdotes, which offer a glimpse into the customs of 19th century Britain.
