EN - Description: Jerome K. Jerome was an English humorist famed for Three Men in a Boat (1889), a fictionalized but autobiographical account of a leisurely two-week boating holiday on the Thames. Originally meant as a travel guide, the comic episodes overshadowed serious intent, giving rise to one of the most beloved travel comedy books. In 1891 he authored Diary of a Pilgrimage, chronicling a journey from London to Germany to attend the Oberammergau Passion Play. Witty essays on luggage dilemmas, seasickness, German beds, and local encounters layer the tiny travelogue with charm and gentle satire

- Description: E. Kandiah, a cyclist and traveler from Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), authored Round the World on Cycle from the Middle East to Ceylon, published in Madura in 1938 by C.M.V. Press. This volume recounts the final stages of a round-the-world bicycle journey, tracing Kandiah’s return route from the Middle East to his homeland. It provides valuable first-person insight into early global mobility from a non-Western perspective - a Ceylonese traveler navigating the colonial world by bicycle in the interwar period
