en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2004
Stage Land is a humorous novel written by Jerome K. Jerome, the acclaimed author of Three Men in a Boat. The story follows the adventures of a young man named Arthur who dreams of becoming a successful actor. Arthur is not particularly talented, but he is determined to make it in the world of the theatre.The novel is set in the fictional country of Stage Land, where the rules of reality do not always apply. Arthur encounters a host of eccentric characters, including a man who can change his appearance at will, a woman who can control the weather, and a group of actors who specialize in playing dead.As Arthur navigates the strange world of Stage Land, he learns valuable lessons about the nature of fame, success, and the importance of being true to oneself. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful actress named Sylvia and must navigate the challenges of their relationship.Stage Land is a witty and entertaining novel that pokes fun at the world of theatre while also celebrating its magic and allure. With its charming characters and clever plot twists, it is a delightful read for anyone who loves a good comedy.He is always cheerful and always good. We never knew a bad Irishman on the stage. Sometimes a stage Irishman seems to be a bad man--such as the ""agent"" or the ""informer""--but in these cases it invariably turns out in the end that this man was all along a Scotchman, and thus what had been a mystery becomes clear and explicable.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Notă biografică

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.
