Анализ отрывка из "Three Men in a Boat".

The text I am going to comment on is a story by Jerome Klapka Jerome. This famous English author was born in 1859 and died in 1927. The works of Jerome have his own unique storytelling style and are full of humour based on misunderstanding and irony. The writer shows the weak sides of people in a humorous manner. The extract under consideration is taken from one of the author's best-known novels. The full title is "Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog). Jerome published this novel after spending his honeymoon on a boat on the Thames. The characters of the story are also introduced in another novel, a sequel named "Three Men on the Bummel". This extract is about cooking an extraordinary Irish stew. It is difficult to tell what problems the author wanted to convey without reading the whole novel, but in my opinion, the theme of this excerpt is the difficulties of living in the countryside for the people who got used to living in a city.
