註釋In 'My Life and Times,' Jerome K. Jerome offers readers a candid and often humor-tinged look into his journey from a destitute upbringing to a respected humorist and author. While providing a rich tapestry of his professional achievements, Jerome does not shy away from stark portrayals of the deprivation and zealously religious environment that characterized his early life. Rendered with the literary grace and witty prose synonymous with his style, this autobiography situates itself within the broader context of Victorian and Edwardian England, offering audiences a deeply personal yet historically anchored perspective. Jerome K. Jerome's own narrative in 'My Life and Times' is indelibly shaped by the hardships and the socio-cultural milieu that he navigated. His experiences weaving through the strictures of societal expectations and personal ambitions reveal as much about the man behind the celebrated works as the epoch that forged his character. Jerome's fabric of storytelling is interlaced with the intrinsic comedy and tragedy of an era, providing a valuable lens through which the reader can discern the undercurrents that influenced his celebrated oeuvre. This autobiography is not merely for enthusiasts of Jerome's fiction but extends an invitation to any reader fascinated by the fortitude of the human spirit amidst adversity. 'My Life and Times' emerges as an essential reading that transcends mere biographical interest, proposing a vivid window into the life of a man who balanced the gravity of his past with the levity of his literary genius. It is a recommendation to those who wish to explore the roots of literary success and the profound resilience it often requires.
