Diary of a Pilgrimage

Jerome Klapka Jerome, best known as the author of 'Three Men in a Boat', one of the great comic masterpieces of the English language, was born in Walsall, Staffordshire, on 2nd May 1859, the youngest of four children.Jerome K Jerome Freeman of WalsallHis father, who had interests in the local coal and iron industries and was a prominent non-conformist preacher, had moved to the town in 1855 and installed the family in a fashionable middle class house in Bradford Street where they lived in comparative comfort until 1861. Following the collapse of the family business, the Jeromes moved first to Stourbridge and thence to Poplar in the East End of London where he was brought up in relative poverty.Jerome left school at fourteen and worked variously as a clerk, a hack journalist, an actor ('I have played every part in Hamlet except Ophelia') and a schoolmaster. His first book 'On the Stage and Off' was published in 1885 and this was followed by numerous plays, books and magazine articles.In 1927, one year after writing his autobiography 'My life and Times', he was made a Freeman of the Borough of Walsall. He died later the same year and is buried in Ewelme in Oxfordshire.Though a relaxed, urbane man, Jerome was a relentless explorer of new ideas and experiences. He travelled widely throughout Europe, was a pioneer of ski-ing in the Alps and visited Russia and America several times. He was a prolific writer whose work has been translated into many foreign languages, but as Jerome himself said: "It is as the author of 'Three Men in a Boat' that the public persists in remembering me."

游记讲述了自助出境游的百般状况，又好笑又无奈。事故多发处是火车和旅馆。好奇德国的床褥是不是真的和英格兰的差别很大。这本小说被纳入了古登堡计划，听说今年译言有相关翻译计划，非常期待。
