Jerome K. Jerome
1891
A humorous travel narrative written during the late 19th century. The work captures the author’s journey to Ober-Ammergau, Germany, specifically to see the famed Passion Play, while exploring the whimsical thoughts and observations of the protagonist, who appears to act as a proxy for Jerome himself. The opening of the narrative introduces the protagonist's friend, B., who invites him to attend the play, leading to amusing exchanges about the nature of travel, the necessary preparations, and superstitions regarding the day they choose to embark. The main character is motivated by a desire for adventure and fraught with comedic anxieties about what to bring on the trip. There are humorous discussions about essential items for the journey and the absurdity of the various recommendations he receives, revealing both a satirical view of the civilized traveller’s behavior and a light-hearted exploration of the protagonist’s ambitions to experience life beyond his familiar surroundings.
