Acerca del autor
Jerome Klapka Jerome (2 May 1859 – 14 June 1927) was an eminent English writer and humorist, best known for his humorous travelogue 'Three Men in a Boat' (1889). Building upon a diverse array of jobs, from railway clerk to actor and school teacher, Jerome's experiences contributed to his richly anecdotal style of writing, often intertwining comedy with pensive musings on life. Jerome's contribution to English literature extends to plays, essays, and novels, with his work 'They and I' (1909) often cited as a keen example of his playful narrative voice blended with autobiographical elements. 'They and I' explores family dynamics and societal observations through the lens of a father's perspective, underscoring Jerome's recurring themes of familial relations and domestic life. His works reflect the quintessentially British wit and often grapple with the idiosyncrasies of everyday life. Jerome's legacy remains influential, his literary style marked by a lightness of touch and a flair for satirizing the middle-class concerns of the late Victorian era. This humorous sensibility, paired with his accessible prose, has ensured that his works continue to be enjoyed by readers, instigating laughter and reflection in equal measure.
