When Jerome K Jerome and his friend decide to attend the Oberammergau Passion Play, an Easter pageant that is performed in Oberlin, Germany once every decade, they turn the trip into a vacation. From London to Germany, the pair plan a cross-continent trip, excited to sight-see and experience different cultures. However, the friends run into conflict before they even take off, unsure what to pack. While they sort through contradicting advice from others, the pair cannot decide if it would be worse to take more than they need, or less. After they defeat their relatable packing struggle, they finally embark on their journey. The men encounter even more troubles, as they struggle to find directions, board their train, and overcome cultural barriers. However, through unfamiliar foods, strange beds, and misunderstandings, it is impossible to miscommunicate the gorgeous landmarks they encounter, including the Cologne Cathedral and the Rhine river. Their vacation may not go as planned, but it most certainly will be memorable!

Featuring misadventures, iconic settings, and admirable friendship, Jerome K. Jerome’s Diary of a Pilgrimage is a genius work of comedic nonfiction. Written in the form of essays depicting memorable anecdotes, Jerome’s work is composed by delightful, humorous prose and poignant observations. Mixing humor and sentiment, Jerome extends his observations to everyday life, and uses the details of his journey to paint broader truths about civilization and the human race. With vivid descriptions of the social scene and stunning landscapes of major European cities such as London, Cologne, and Munich, Diary of a Pilgrimage paints a perfect image of the journey, allowing readers to experience a vicarious adventure throughout 19th century Europe.

This edition of Diary of a Pilgrimage by Jerome K. Jerome features a stunning new cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, Diary of a Pilgrimage caters to a contemporary audience while preserving the original hilarity of Jerome’s work.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jerome K. Jerome

Nasceu em Walsall, em 1859, e era o filho mais novo de quatro irmãos. Deixou a escola aos 14 anos e trabalhou como jornalista, ator, professor e vendedor. Em 1885, publicou o seu primeiro livro, Dentro e Fora do Palco, ao qual se seguiram numerosos livros, peças de teatro e artigos em revistas e jornais. Em 1892, em conjunto com alguns amigos, fundou uma revista mensal ilustrada que ganhou a reputação de ser bem-humorada e divertida. Quando a revista faliu, Jerome virou-se para o teatro e tornou-se conhecido como dramaturgo. Adorava a Natureza, os barcos e os rios. Era um homem descontraído, cortês, e foi um impulsionador incansável de novas ideias e experiências. Viajou por toda a Europa, foi um dos pioneiros do esqui nos Alpes e visitou a Rússia e a América várias vezes. Foi um escritor prolífico e a sua obra é vasta e está traduzida em diversos idiomas; porém, o próprio Jerome disse: «É como autor de Três Homens num Barco que o público persiste em recordar-me». Os três homens são inspirados nele próprio (Jerome K. Jerome) e em dois amigos da vida real, George Wingrave (que se tornaria gerente sénior do Barclays Bank) e Carl Hentschel (fundador de uma tipografia, o Harris do livro), com quem Jerome fez diversas viagens de barco. Morreu em 1927, um ano depois de escrever a sua autobiografia A Minha Vida e os Meus Tempos e de ser condecorado pelas autoridades da sua terra natal.
