Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927) was an English author and humorist, best known for his comic masterpiece 'Three Men in a Boat' (1889). Jerome's writing style is characterized by his light-hearted wit and endearing humor, often featuring playful narrative and a conversational tone that brings his characters to life. Born in Walsall, Staffordshire, Jerome faced early hardship before emerging as a successful writer and actor. His literary portfolio is diverse, with works spanning from essays to plays, but his penchant for humor remains the golden thread throughout his oeuvre. A lesser-known but equally charming sequel to his most famous work is 'Three Men on the Bummel' (1900). In this narrative, the same beloved characters embark on a cycling tour through Germany, with the same comedic mishaps and insightful musings on human nature that readers cherished in the original. Jerome's contribution to English literature is significant; his adept use of humor to critique societal norms and the human condition has cemented his reputation as a distinctive voice in the late Victorian era. Despite the passage of time, Jerome K. Jerome's work continues to delight and entertain readers, and his legacy endures as a staple in the canon of English comic writing.
