Pelham Wodehouse Livres

" On pourrait dire des personnages de Wodehouse que ce sont des " types " floués par leurs propres archétypes. Pris au dépourvu par la cocasserie des situations, ils cherchent à imiter - ou à inverser selon leur degré de subtilité - les conduites des héros de feuilletons ou séries B, et sont amenés ainsi à brouiller les codes de la comédie jusqu'à l'extrême invraisemblance : la fantaisie gagne ainsi une mousseuse et digeste inconsistance. " Michèle Hechter Libération, 1985

Pongo, Mr. Mulliner, Oncle Fred (il ne manque que Jeeves à la fête), P.G. Wodehouse réunit là tous ses personnages habituels qui se trompent de chapeaux, mettent le feu aux châteaux et les " Pubs " en ébullition, jettent les chats par les fenêtres et les principes aux orchidées. Le talent de Wodehouse serait-il plus éclatant encore dans ses nouvelles que dans ses romans ?

This volume brings together three rib-tickling books, featuring hapless man-about-town Bertie Wooster, and his manservant Jeeves. Bertie has an unfailing talent for getting into sticky situations, but Jeeves never fails to come to his rescue, be it from the threat of matrimony, relatives or Aunts.

And so, thanks to Jeeves, they are throughout this bumper volume, whatever mayhem may be loosed upon the befuddled head and generous heart of Bertram Wilberforce Wooster. Gathered in this volume are three of Wodehouse's hilarious Jeeves and Wooster novels: Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves and Jeeves in the Offing.

Poor Bertie is in the soup again, and throughout this latest omnibus it is only Jeeves who keeps him from being the fish and the main course as well. This volume contains Much Obliged, Jeeves, Aunts Aren't Gentlemen and the short stories 'Extricating Young Gussie', 'Jeeves Makes An Omelette' and 'Jeeves and the Greasy Bird'.

Jeeves may not always see eye to eye with Bertie on ties and fancy waistcoats, but he can always be relied on to whisk his young master spotlessly out of the soup (even if, for tactical reasons, he did drop him in it in the first place).
