About Jerome K. Jerome

Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927), an English novelist, playwright, and actor, is best known as a humorist. In his writing, he was able to explore sensitive issues regarding human emotions through humor and light-hearted narrations.

Born in Walsall, Staffordshire, Jerome was brought up in the East End of London in relative poverty. He left school at fourteen and worked variously as a clerk, a hack journalist, an actor, and a schoolmaster. His first book, On the Stage and Off, was published in 1885. This was followed by numerous plays, books, and magazine articles, but he is best known for Three Men in a Boat. In 1927, one year after writing his autobiography My Life and Times, he was made a Freeman of the Borough of Walsall.

Though a relaxed, urbane man, Jerome was a relentless explorer of new ideas and experiences. He travelled widely throughout Europe, was a pioneer of skiing in the Alps, and visited Russia and America several times. He was a prolific writer whose work has been translated into many foreign languages.

This is the second book about the three London-based friends going on an adventure. This time, some years have passed since the boat trip, the dog is no longer with them, and two of them are married.

Goodreads review by Riku on September 01, 2013

The Bummel provides too few laughs in comparison to The Boat (say one laugh for every ten pages, instead of ten laughs for every page). Besides, the linear narrative does not agree with the three men. Yes, the anecdotes were missed (to say nothing of the dog).......more

Relaxată, veselă și plină de observații hilare la adresa nemților și a modului lor de viață. Cei trei prieteni sunt, ca și în primul volum, dornici de aventură, dar fără să iasă prea tare din propriul confort.......more
