Sobre l'autor
Sir James Matthew Barrie, better known as J. M. Barrie (1860–1937), was a Scottish novelist and playwright whose timeless work has left an indelible mark on literature. Born in Kirriemuir, Angus, he was the ninth of ten children and found solace in writing after the tragic death of his older brother. Barrie's rich career took flight as a journalist, but it wasn't long before his storytelling prowess propelled him to the stages of London. With a distinctive literary style characterized by whimsy and a deep connection to themes of childhood and innocence, Barrie is best known for creating the beloved character Peter Pan. However, among his poignant works is 'Sentimental Tommy: The Story of His Boyhood' (1896) which showcases his deft touch in exploring the complexities of youthful imagination and the trials of growing up. As with his other novels and plays, 'Sentimental Tommy' embodies Barrie's skillful blend of sentimentality and sharp social insight, reflecting his stature as both a literary figure and social commentator. The breadth of Barrie's work extends far beyond his tales of the boy who wouldn't grow up, offering a rich view of the emotional and social landscape of his time, securing his place as a luminary of early 20th-century literature.
