Three Men on the Bummel

by Jerome K. Jerome

Overview

A "bummel" is a journey without end. Whether we want to or not, most of us have to settle with a return to our regular exertions.

So do these heroes of THREE MEN IN A BOAT, only on this occasion, a cycling trip through the Black Forest, it seems they may cycle on forever, such are their problems. Whether it's George attempting to buy a cushion for his aunt or Harris's harrowing experience with a road-waterer, not to mention the routine problems with language and directions, things get very confused indeed!

"A delightful excursion in a world which, alas, exists no longer--and indeed may only have been found in the author's lively imagination." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)

About the Author

Born Jerome Clapp, English author and humorist Jerome K. Jerome later changed his last name to mirror his first. As a child, Jerome dreamed of a career in politics, but was forced to quit his studies and find a job at age thirteen after his father passed away. Jerome worked various jobs, including working on the railway, joining a traveling acting company for three years, and volunteering as an ambulance driver for the French army. In 1888, he married Georgina Marris, and had one stepchild from his wife’s previous marriage. Jerome earned success with his comedic work, including his novel Three Men in a Boat.
