Author Jerome, Jerome K. (Jerome Klapka), 1859-1927
Title Paul Kelver
Credits Ron Burkey, and David Widger
Summary "Paul Kelver" by Jerome K. Jerome is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely during the early 1900s. The story follows the life of Paul Kelver as he navigates the complexities of his childhood and family dynamics, set against the backdrop of a London that fluctuates between fantasy and harsh reality. The opening introduces Paul, who contemplates his fate and upbringing, revealing themes of identity, family, and the struggle against misfortune. The opening of "Paul Kelver" establishes a rich narrative tone as Paul reflects on his early life with his parents and the societal expectations surrounding them. It provides insight into Paul's relationship with his parents, particularly the contrast between his father's ambitions and the family's struggles in a modest, often unwelcoming environment. The tale begins with an evocative prologue featuring the old house Paul feels drawn to, indicating a significant connection to his past. Through a whimsical exploration of his arrival into the world, along with his tender yet critical observations, readers are introduced to the moral and existential questions that will shape his journey as he grows into a young man. As these themes of fortune, family, and self-discovery unfold, the opening sets the stage for an engaging exploration of character and consequence in the contemporary landscape.
