BRIT WIT

Vintage Classics are always refreshing. "Three Men on the Bummel" oozes with not just any wit but pure British wit.  Of course, it is condescending every day but Jerome. K. Jerome, with an elusive approach manages to do it with the art of subtlety. The three middle-aged men George, Harris and the author himself who is also the narrator of the story set out for a short trip a.k.a, a bummel to Germany. As they explore the cities, their streets, the people, the cuisine, the culture, law and order in the new country, they encounter and become a part of some funny incidents which are tragic for them but a comic relief for the readers. The author also provides an informative bite-sized language course from German to English and French/Italian to English here and there. The book, when released in the 1990s must have received some harsh censoring and policing before publication as it very much ridicules the German stereotypes and norms. The part you will enjoy reading a lot is whe...
