Three Men on the Bummel (also known as Three Men on Wheels) is a humorous novel by Jerome K. Jerome. It was published in 1900, eleven years after his most famous work, Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog). The sequel brings back the three companions who figured in Three Men in a Boat, this time on a bicycle tour through the German Black Forest. ( Wikipedia)

Звесткі пра аўтара

Jerome K. Jerome, born Jerome Klapka Jerome on May 2, 1859, in Walsall, England, is best known for his wit and humor, which have left an indelible mark on English literature. His early life was marred by financial hardship following the death of his father, which forced Jerome to leave school at 14 and work various jobs, including as a railway clerk, schoolteacher, and actor. These experiences provided rich material for his later writing.Jerome's breakthrough came with the publication of "Three Men in a Boat" in 1889, a comic travelogue that remains a classic of British humor. The book's success established him as a leading figure in the literary world, and its influence can be seen in the works of contemporary humorists like P.G. Wodehouse and Douglas Adams.Despite his comedic prowess, Jerome's career was not without controversy. His candid and often satirical take on societal norms and politics occasionally drew criticism. He was a vocal advocate for social reform and pacifism, particularly during World War I, which put him at odds with the prevailing patriotic fervor of the time.Jerome's contributions extend beyond literature; he co-founded "The Idler" magazine, which provided a platform for many young writers and artists. His influence on the genre of travel writing and his pioneering use of humor to address serious themes have cemented his legacy as a revolutionary figure in English letters.Jerome K. Jerome's life and work continue to resonate, offering modern readers a window into the complexities of Victorian and Edwardian society, all while delivering timeless laughter.
