Трогателна история. Разкази и есета

by Jerome K. Jerome, Джеръм К. Джеръм

Джером К. Джером (1859-1927) е автор на повече от двадесет пиеси, тринадесет повести и десетки разкази. Писателят-хуморист е известен най-вече с великолепната история „Трима в лодка (без да броим кучето)“, но не по-малко известни и очарователни са хумористичните му разкази и есета. В тази колекция са включени именно тези негови произведения. Тънката наблюдателност и ненадминато чувство за хумор му помагат да намери смешното и комичното дори в най-обикновените и ежедневни случки от живота.

Героите му са колоритни и очарователни, те често попадат в странни, нелепи и стряскащи ситуации, но винаги намират изход от тях.

About the author

Jerome Klapka Jerome was an English writer and humorist, best known for the comic travelogue Three Men in a Boat (1889). Other works include the essay collections Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886) and Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow; Three Men on the Bummel, a sequel to Three Men in a Boat; and several other novels. Jerome was born in Walsall, England, and, although he was able to attend grammar school, his family suffered from poverty at times, as did he as a young man trying to earn a living in various occupations. In his twenties, he was able to publish some work, and success followed. He married in 1888, and the honeymoon was spent on a boat on the River Thames; he published Three Men in a Boat soon afterwards. He continued to write fiction, non-fiction and plays over the next few decades, though never with the same level of success.
