This early work by Jerome K. Jerome was originally published in 1892 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Man of Science' is a classic Victorian ghost story. Jerome Klapka Jerome was born in Walsall, England in 1859. Both his parents died while he was in his early teens, and he was forced to quit school to support himself. In 1889, Jerome published his most successful and best-remembered work, 'Three Men in a Boat'. Featuring himself and two of his friends encountering humorous situations while floating down the Thames in a small boat, the book was an instant success, and has never been out of print. In fact, its popularity was such that the number of registered Thames boats went up fifty percent in the year following its publication.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What happens when cold, unyielding scientific logic collides with the messy, unpredictable nature of human emotion In this sharp short story, Jerome K. Jerome takes a satirical aim at the rigid certainties and intellectual arrogance of the Victorian scientific elite. The narrative centers on a highly analytical, detached protagonist who views the world entirely through the lens of data, equations, and predictable psychological formulas. He believes that every human action, reaction, and emotion can be neatly categorized and controlled. However, life has a funny way of refusing to fit into a neat equation. When a sudden situation forces the scientist out of his sterile laboratory and into the unpredictable theater of real human relationships, his meticulously constructed worldview begins to unravel. What follows is a clever, deeply ironical exploration of the limitations of intellect when stripped of genuine human empathy. Perfect for a quick but deeply satisfying afternoon read, The Man of Science showcases Jerome's incredible ability to blend philosophy with sharp social commentary. It is a witty treat for fans of classic British satire who enjoy watching the proud and the powerful get hilariously humbled by the simple complexities of everyday life. Artikel-Nr. 9781473316256
