Autor

Ralph Bergengren (1871-1947) was an American author and editor who contributed discerningly to the literary world during the early 20th century. With a gentle humor and a touch of satirical wit, Bergengren's prose artfully captured the quiddities of domestic life and social customs. His book 'The Comforts of Home' is a prime example of his literary style, which often weaved a tapestry of warmth and light-heartedness around his subjects. Bergengren's writing reflects a deeply personal approach, one that invites readers into the intimate spaces of home and hearth, characterized by an attentiveness to the small pleasures and peculiarities that make up everyday existence. Beyond 'The Comforts of Home,' his output included delightful essays and articles that graced the pages of popular magazines of his time, such as The Atlantic Monthly and The Saturday Evening Post.
