Produktbeschreibung

In "Dreams," Jerome K. Jerome delves into the often elusive landscape of the subconscious, exploring the interplay between dreams and reality through his characteristic wit and humor. The book is structured as a series of short, interconnected essays that wittily dissect the nature of dreams, their interpretations, and their impact on human life. Jerome's literary style is distinctive, melding playful prose with philosophical musings, presenting a fascinating reflection on Victorian attitudes toward dreams and the mind. This work sits comfortably within the literary context of the late 19th century, a period fascinated by psychology and the burgeoning field of dream analysis, influenced by contemporaries such as Freud and the Romantic poets who often drew inspiration from the dream state. Jerome K. Jerome was not only a famed humorist but a keen observer of societal transformations during his time. His background in various occupations, coupled with his experiences in literature and theater, equipped him with a unique lens through which to view human experiences, including the perplexing yet enchanting world of dreams. His ability to humorously address serious themes may have stemmed from his own contemplations on life'Äôs absurdities. "Dreams" is a compelling read for those fascinated by the intricacies of the human psyche, as well as anyone drawn to clever and engaging prose. Jerome'Äôs insights encourage readers to ponder their own dreams, making this work not just entertain but also enrich their understanding of the subconscious.

Autorenporträt

Jerome Klapka Jerome (2 May 1859 - 14 June 1927) was an English writer and humourist, 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 Caldmore, Walsall, England. He was the fourth child of Marguerite Jones and Jerome Clapp (who later renamed himself Jerome Clapp Jerome), an ironmonger and lay preacher who dabbled in architecture. He had two sisters, Paulina and Blandina, and one brother, Milton, who died at an early age. Jerome was registered as Jerome Clapp Jerome, like his father's amended name, and the Klapka appears to be a later variation (after the exiled Hungarian general György Klapka). The family fell into poverty owing to bad investments in the local mining industry, and debt collectors visited often, an experience that Jerome described vividly in his autobiography My Life and Times (1926). The young Jerome attended St Marylebone Grammar School. He wished to go into politics or be a man of letters, but the death of his father when Jerome was 13 and of his mother when he was 15 forced him to quit his studies and find work to support himself. He was employed at the London and North Western Railway, initially collecting coal that fell along the railway, and he remained there for four years.
