Diary of a Pilgrimage

If you fell in love with the chaotic, bumbling vacation of Three Men in a Boat, Diary of a Pilgrimage is the perfect spiritual successor for your bookshelf. Originally published in 1891, this brilliant volume documents a real-life journey from London to Germany as Jerome and his equally disorganized friend "B." set out to witness the legendary, once-a-decade Passion Play in a remote Bavarian village.

Jerome turns what should be a solemn journey into a masterclass in travel disasters. From surviving a remarkably rough overnight crossing of the English Channel to getting hopelessly lost in foreign train stations, trying to order breakfast with a language barrier, and wrestling with the bizarre mechanics of a German bed, Jerome finds endless humor in the friction of international travel.

Diary of a Pilgrimage is an absolutely joyful, historically rich travel diary that proves that no matter how much technology changes, the hilarious struggles of being a tourist remain exactly the same. It is a warm, witty, and deeply comforting escape for the armchair traveler!
