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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerome Klapka Jerome was an English writer and humourist, best known for the comic travelogue Three Men in a Boat. Other works include the essay collections Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow and Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow; Three Men on the Bummel, a sequel to Three Men in a Boat, and several other novels.Jerome sat right down to write Three Men during a Boat as soon because the couple returned from their honeymoon. within the novel, his wife was replaced by his longtime friends George Wingrave (George) and Carl Hentschel (Harris). This allowed him to make comic (and non-sentimental) situations which were nonetheless intertwined with the history of the Thames region. The book, published in 1889, became a moment success and has never been out of print. Its popularity was such the amount of registered Thames boats went up one-half within the year following its publication, and it contributed significantly to the Thames becoming a tourist attraction. In its first twenty years alone, the book sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide. it's been adapted to films, TV and radio shows, stage plays, and a musical. Its literary genre influenced many humourists and satirists in England et al. .With the financial security that the sales of the book provided, Jerome was ready to dedicate all of his time to writing. He wrote variety of plays, essays, and novels, but was never ready to recapture the success of Three Men during a Boat. In 1892, he was chosen by Robert Barr to edit The Idler (over Rudyard Kipling). The magazine was an illustrated satirical monthly catering to gentlemen (who, following the theme of the publication, appreciated idleness). In 1893, he founded To-Day, but had to withdraw from both publications due to financial difficulties and a libel suit.Jerome's play Biarritz had a run of two months at the Prince of Wales Theatre between April and June 1896.In 1898, a brief stay in Germany inspired Three Men on the Bummel, the sequel to 3 Men during a Boat, reintroducing an equivalent characters within the setting of a far off bicycle tour. The book was nonetheless unable to capture the life-force and historic roots of its predecessor, and it enjoyed only a light success. In 1902, he published the novel Paul Kelver, which is widely considered autobiographical. His 1908 play The Passing of the Third Floor Back introduced a more sombre and non secular Jerome. the most character was played by one among the leading actors of the time, Johnston Forbes-Robertson, and therefore the play was an incredible commercial success. it had been twice made into film, in 1918 and in 1935. However, the play was condemned by critics - Beerbohm described it as "vilely stupid" and as written by a "tenth-rate writer"
