Friday, September 12, Three Men On A Bummel: So we hear about the German love of planning and obedience to state and arraging everything perfectly. We also hear about the guidebooks for foreigners in local languages sold everywhere in Europe and their efficacy tested by the three in London in English language version. The walk up a mountain disdaining the ubiquitous German efficiency in having a restaurant on every mountain top and not finding one while standing right before it, the buying of a cushion, the tale about a condemned man being provided instructions about execution of his own sentence - everything.
In fact that is an understatement - when I read this it is hard not to laugh till it hurts physically, one just cannot help it, especially about the hats and the shoes, not that the taxi is not a good beginning. And the cushions and other incidents in Germany, and observations, just priceless.

It reveals a sublime depth in the writer I would not otherwise have known: And we know that Pain and Sorrow are but the angels of God.
Only those who have worn the crown of suffering can look upon that wondrous light; and they, when they return, may not speak of it, or tell the mystery they know" pp of Kindle story. Jerome's classic fictionalized tale about a boating trip up the Thames with two friends and a dog. This version of the story has been adapted into graphic novel form.
I was disappointed that this adaptation cut out three of my favorite parts of the original. There's no thoughts on cheese in a boat, no swans how can you cut out the swans!?! It's still a fairly good adaptation. It keeps the sarcastic spirit of the original and the illustration style definitely fits the mood. A good introduction to this classic, but I'd still encourage readers to check out the original for the full comedic enjoyment. One mild swear word. No sexual content or decency issues.
