Produktbeschreibung
The observations of Henry explores the lives of ordinary individuals through the sharp and often humorous lens of a hotel waiter whose insight into human nature comes from years of serving the public. The collection begins with an account in a London dining room, where the narrator meets a clever boy and a girl known for her appetite and charm. These early scenes introduce a layered narrative that blends comedy with social observation, offering glimpses into the daily trials and small triumphs of people on the margins of society. Rather than focusing on high drama, the text highlights fleeting encounters and modest gestures that reveal deeper truths about love, pride, and human resilience. Throughout the stories, the reader is invited into conversations that take place in hotels, caf s, and back alleys, where character is laid bare in simple moments. What emerges is not just a chronicle of London s social life, but a gentle study of kindness, loneliness, and the curious ways people reveal themselves when they think no one is truly watching.
Autorenporträt
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.
