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.

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.
