О аутору

Jerome K. Jerome, an illustrious English writer and humorist, was born on May 2, 1859, in Walsall, Staffordshire. His full name being Jerome Klapka Jerome, he is most renowned for his comic masterpiece 'Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)', a work that has enthralled readers with its wit and humour since its publication in 1889. Possessing a distinctive narrative style characterized by a delightful mingling of humour and pathos, Jerome's writing often reflects on the idiosyncrasies of everyday life and the absurdities of the human condition. His literary oeuvre includes a variety of genres, encompassing essays, plays, and novels. Although 'Woodbarrow Farm' is less well-known in comparison to his iconic works, it nonetheless epitomizes Jerome's narrative flair and keen observation. His other significant works such as 'Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow' and 'Three Men on the Bummel' further established him as a leading figure in the world of English literature. Jerome's contribution to the literary arts extended beyond his own writing, as he also edited the magazine 'The Idler' along with his friend Robert Barr. Jerome's enduring legacy is encapsulated by the Jerome K. Jerome Society, which was founded to promote his work and literary style. Jerome passed away on June 14, 1927, but his writing continues to entertain and inspire readers worldwide.
