A decade after their wild boat ride adventure on the Thames river,
J, Harris, and George reunite for another vacation. Older, richer,
and fatter, but not wiser, the three men stumble through mishaps
and surprises as they journey to Germany. First saying their
goodbyes, J and Harris seek the approval of their wives, worried
about leaving their kids. Their wives are supportive, secretly
considering their husbands' trip from home as a vacation for
themselves as well. Still a bachelor, George tells his aunt about
the trip before they depart. First arriving in a boat, the men
journey through Germany, stopping in Hamburg, Hanover, and Berlin.
When they are able, they stay in hotels and inns, and when they are
desperate, the sleep in the barns of kind farmers. After a long
journey, the men finally arrive at their destination. Planning on
completing a cycling tour through the German Black Forest, the men
take a single rider and a tandem bicycle, making a solemn
compromise to take turns being the solo rider. As they set out on
their bike ride, the friends are amazed by the beauty and serenity
of the forest, until they start to realize that everything looks
familiar. Lost in the woods and going in circles, the three men
must find a way home from their adventure before they get caught in
the impending rain storm. Through sketches and detailed
observations, Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men on the Bummel provides a
fascinating perspective on the landscape and culture of 20th
century Germany. With drunken adventures, sword fights, and
misfortunate weather, Three Men on the Bummel is an exciting and
charming travelogue, humorous and enjoyable even for modern
audiences. This edition of Three Men on the Bumel by Jerome K.
Jerome is presented in an easy-to-read font and features an
eye-catching new cover design. With these accommodations, this
edition is accessible and appealing to contemporary audiences,
restoring Jerome K Jerome's work to modern standards while
preserving the original wit and charm of Three Men on the Bummel.
