Description
""John Ingerfield and Other Stories"" is a collection of short stories written by Jerome K. Jerome, the acclaimed author of ""Three Men in a Boat"". The book features a variety of tales, each with its own unique setting and characters. The titular story, ""John Ingerfield"", tells the story of a man who, after a series of misfortunes, decides to leave his old life behind and start anew in a small village. However, he soon finds that his past is difficult to escape and that the villagers are not as welcoming as he had hoped.Other stories in the collection include ""The Dancing Partner"", a creepy tale about a man who purchases a life-like mechanical doll that begins to take on a life of its own, and ""The New Utopia"", a satirical look at a society where everything is perfect but ultimately soulless.Jerome's wit and humor are on full display in these stories, which are sure to delight fans of his work and newcomers alike. Each tale is a masterclass in storytelling, with vivid characters, clever twists, and unexpected endings. ""John Ingerfield and Other Stories"" is a must-read for anyone who loves classic literature and short fiction.Wild-reindeer stalking is hardly so exciting a sport as the evening's verandah talk in Norroway hotels would lead the trustful traveller to suppose. Under the charge of your guide, a very young man with the dreamy, wistful eyes of those who live in valleys, you leave the farmstead early in the forenoon, arriving towards twilight at the desolate hut.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
