Jerome K. Jerome was an English author and comedian who lived from 2 May 1859 to 14 June 1927. His humorous travelogue Three Men in a Boat is his most well-known work (1889). Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, a collection of essays, is among the other works (1886-1927). The fourth child of Jerome Jones and Clapp, an ironmonger and lay preacher, was Jerome Clapp. Due to poor investments made in the local mining business, the family became impoverished. Jerome wanted to enter politics or become a man of letters, but he struggled to make ends meet. He tried his hand at acting in 1877 under the stage name Harold Crichton after being inspired by his older sister Blandina's passion for the theatre. He wedded Georgina Elizabeth Henrietta Stanley Marris in 1888, nine days after she separated from her first husband. In June 1927, Jerome experienced a paralytic stroke and brain hemorrhage. He spent two weeks in the Northampton General Hospital before passing away. At St. Mary's Church in Ewelme, Oxfordshire, Jerome was laid to rest. "For we are laborers with God," his gravestone reads.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Anthony John traces the formation of a determined spirit within the oppressive framework of poverty and familial conflict. Born into a struggling household in an industrial town, the central figure s early existence is marked by economic hardship and emotional turbulence. The household reflects the tensions of unfulfilled ambition and domestic burden, as one parent clings to mechanical dreams that never materialize, while the other quietly endures the weariness of daily life. The formative years unfold against a backdrop of soot, machinery, and social rigidity, where survival is an act of resistance and every small desire risks being crushed under necessity. As the narrative develops, the child at its heart becomes increasingly aware of the forces shaping him internal and external. There is no romanticism in this growth, only the slow accumulation of insight and defiance, built from frustration and fleeting hope. The story questions the promises of hard work, the moral cost of upward striving, and the shadows that past choices cast on future lives. Grounded in psychological realism, it unravels the making of an individual intent on transformation, though still tethered to the conditions that formed him. N° de réf. du vendeur 9789371812429
