Features: This book is the work of the renowned British humorist Jerome K. Jerome, a thinker known as the "Procrastinator" who observes the world from the perspective of the "procrastinator." Mundane details of daily life enter his writing and instantly become lively and insightful. The 21 essays selected in this book include 9 from Jerome's Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, 4 from More Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, and 8 from Idle Thoughts of 1905. In these essays, Jerome, with a humorous and incisive pen, portrays the social landscape of 19th-century England. "The whole book is filled with laughter, yet it is also a tearful story," he is truly a clever man in the world, a hidden dragon in the city, observing the hustle and bustle with a cold eye, mocking and satirizing. With a delicate and sensitive heart, he observes all the wonders of the world, then depicts them on paper with a humorous and wise touch, leaving the world to judge.
