About P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who
wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of
journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than
seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best
known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant
Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and
post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after
World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole
Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his
repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in
1975.

Jeeves is less Olym......more

"I believe I would concur in that judgement," Jeeves agreed, and I fancied I saw his left eyebrow twitch slightly. But I was not to be put off by the blighter's lack of enthusiasm. "Hang it all, Jeeves!" I co......more

Goodreads review by Francesc

Aunque la novela está concebida como un todo, cada capítulo se puede considerar como un relato independiente. En ellos, Bertie Wooster tiene algún tipo de problema bastante banal: ayudar a un amigo enamorado, evitar que su tía Agatha lo case y cosas así. En todos los casos, pide ayuda a su ayudante d......more
