Sobre l'autor
Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859–1927) was an acclaimed English writer and humorist, best known for his comic masterpiece 'Three Men in a Boat' (1889). Jerome's early life was marked by struggles with poverty, which informed much of his later writing with an empathetic wit and an eye for the whimsical in the mundane. Born in Walsall, Staffordshire, Jerome left school at the age of fourteen and held a variety of jobs before discovering his passion for the arts, particularly theatre and writing. His literary career commenced with contributions to magazines, and eventually, he rose to prominence as a playwright and author. Jerome's narrative style is characterized by its light-hearted, conversational tone, and a penchant for digressions into amusing anecdotes, a signature that has endeared him to readers worldwide. Outside 'Three Men in a Boat', other notable works include 'Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow' (1886) and the book of reference for this biography, 'The Cost of Kindness' (1914). While the latter may not be as widely celebrated, it showcases Jerome's diverse thematic interests, including introspective musings on human nature and contemporary societal concerns. His work remains a fixture in discussions of English literature for its delightful blend of humor and commentary on the human condition. Jerome's legacy persists as a beloved figure in the canon of English comic writers, and his insights into the trivialities of everyday life continue to resonate with readers and scholars alike.
