П.Г. Вудхаус был, по общему мнению, самым блестящим автором английской комедии двадцатого века, одинаково прославленным по обе стороны Атлантики. Он добился необычного отличия, сочетая максимально широкую популярность с высочайшими литературными стандартами, завоевав как преданность читателей, так и уважение своих коллег - от Хилэра Беллока до Грэма Грина • Эта антология включает в себя два романа, четырнадцать рассказов и выдержки из автобиографии Вудхауса. "Кодекс Вустеров" был написан в 1938 году, "Дядя Фред" - весной 1939 года, когда Вудхаус был на пике своего могущества. В рассказах представлены все самые известные творения Вудхауса – Дживс и Вустер, Укридж, Бинго Литтл, мистер Муллинер, графы Эмсуорт и Икенхэм. Наконец, выдержки из "Более чем семидесяти", мемуаров, столь же забавных и прекрасно написанных, как и романы, дают представление об отношениях и рабочих привычках очень замкнутого человека подробнее

These early stories, first published together in 1917, show Wodehouse perfecting his craft. Characters include a talking dog, a private eye who wants to be an actor, a bank clerk who cannot dance, an ugly policeman, a baseball-mad businessman, and a black cat. The star attraction of the volume for most readers will probably be ‘Extricating Young Gussie’, the first story to feature Jeeves, though in a minor role. His employer, Bertie (furnished with an Aunt Agatha but no surname) had not yet, like Wodehouse himself, ‘appreciated the man’s qualities’. All the stories, however, bear the unmistakable imprint of the author’s comic genius

Everyman Tales of Wrykyn and Elsewhere Вудхаус Пелам Гренвилл

The twenty-five stories in this collection reflect Wodehouse’s own happy schooldays at Dulwich College but they also do a good deal more. Although among his earliest attempts at fiction, they reveal an early-maturing comic talent with flashes of brilliance which foreshadow the later adventures of Ukridge, Bingo Little and Bertie Wooster. And by the way, they give fascinating glimpses of a time when motor cars were novelties, schoolmasters wore mortar boards and gowns, and America was a rising power in the world • The best of them display the author’s love of games and knack for neat plotting. In one, a resourceful teenaged heroine helps a truant schoolboy cricketer by marooning his credulous schoolmaster at the top of a church tower until the match is over

Everyman The Little Nugget Вудхаус Пелам Гренвилл

The Little Nugget is one of the novels in which Wodehouse found his feet, a comic thriller set in an English prep school for the children of the nobility and gentry. Into their midst comes eleven-year-old Ogden Ford, the mouthy, overweight, chain-smoking son of an American millionaire. Ogden (whom we meet again in Piccadilly Jim) is the object of a kidnap attempt which forms the basis of the plot. The comedy arises from Wodehouse’s favourite topics of Anglo-American misunderstanding and the absurdities of school life

Everyman The Coming of Bill Вудхаус Пелам Гренвилл

The nearest Wodehouse ever came to a serious story, The Coming of Bill is a fascinating blend of social comment and light comedy. It concerns the offspring of Ruth, a spoilt heiress, and Kirk, an impecunious artist of perfect physique, brought together by Ruth’s aunt, a believer in eugenics. The young couple are eventually successful in retrieving their child and their marriage from the influence of the overbearing Mrs Porter, but only after a series of comic mishaps in a book which features a galaxy of vintage Wodehouse characters, including the bossy aunt, a tetchy millionaire, a good-natured ex-boxer and an orotund English butler

Everyman A Prefect's Uncle Вудхаус Пелам Гренвилл

The uncle of the title is a mysterious stranger who arrives at Beckford College and turns out to be younger than his nephew, already a prefect at the school. Thus the scene is set for comic confusion and misunderstanding. But the plot is the least interesting part of this charming early book which turns more impressively on a series of sporting events which Wodehouse describes with the perception and panache of an afficionado. An amusing variation on the traditional school story in which the youthful uncle foreshadows both Psmith and Ukridge

Everyman The Adventures of Sally Вудхаус Пелам Гренвилл

The Adventures of Sally is a transatlantic comedy set in worlds Wodehouse knew well: American theatres, English country houses, and the theatrical boarding-houses where young men and women dream of finding fame and fortune. Coming into a modest inheritance, one of these young women, Sally, is able to leave her boarding-house at last, and looks forward to a quiet life in a small apartment. Instead, she finds herself swept up in a series of adventures with her ambitious brother and her playwright fiance, along with an accident-prone, dog-loving Englishman she meets on a French beach and his supercilious cousin, who pursue her across the Atlantic. While losing most of her inheritance backing a play, she sheds the unsatisfactory fiance, rejects the supercilious cousin, falls in love with the accident-prone Englishman, and finds happiness in a kennel on Long Island

Everyman A Damsel in Distress Вудхаус Пелам Гренвилл

The Earl of Marshmoreton's lively daughter – the damsel of the title – thinks she is in love with one Geoffrey Raymond, but a cheerful American song-writer called George Bevan knows better. After one meeting with her, when she climbs into his passing cab to escape from her pompous brother in London, George is dazzled. He pursues her to the family seat in Hampshire and does battle for her hand with her brother, their snobbish aunt and a father who will do anything for a quiet life. Love triumphs in the end with the unwitting help of a sporting butler, and a page boy with golden curls and no conscience, making this one of Wodehouse's most charming early comedies

Everyman Right Ho, Jeeves Вудхаус Пелам Гренвилл

The trouble which begins with Gussie Fink-Nottle wandering the streets of London dressed as Mephistopheles reaches its awful climax in his drunken speech to the boys of Market Snodsbury Grammar School. For Bertie Wooster's old friend has fallen in love with Madeline Bassett and, as usual, makes a hash of the affair until Jeeves comes to the rescue. In the meantime, Jeeves must also solve the mystery of the white mess jacket, while sorting out the lives of Bertie's cousin Angela, her mother, and her mother's French chef. In short, a normal working day for that prince among gentlemen's gentlemen in what must be a candidate for the name of the funniest novel in the English language

Everyman Leave it to Psmith Вудхаус Пелам Гренвилл

«Положитесь на Псмита» – полный озорного юмора роман П.Г. Вудхауса о приключениях великосветского бездельника, периодически пытающегося заняться чем-нибудь полезным для общества. На сей раз Псмит выступает в совершенно неожиданной даже для себя роли – он становится частным детективом и расследует поразительно нелепое дело о краже бесценного ожерелья леди Констанции Кибл. Под подозрением – все, даже… сам Псмит! • Книга на английском языке • It all starts with an umbrella, the best to be found in the Drones Club. From such an innocent beginning Wodehouse weaves a comic tale of suspense and romance involving one of his most distinctive early heroes, Ronald Eustace Psmith, monocled wit and devil-may-care boulevardier. Unusually for Wodehouse, this is not only a light comedy but also an adventure story in which crime and even gun-play drive the plot

Everyman The Girl in Blue Вудхаус Пелам Гренвилл

This charming novel is one of Wodehouse’s best late works. The vintage plot concerns a Gainsborough miniature, a mouldering country house, an overweight solicitor, a fortune-hunter, a butler who isn’t a butler, an American corporate lawyer and his kleptomaniac sister; but the heart of the story – in every sense –concerns Jerry West and his determined pursuit of air hostess Jane Hunnicutt. When Jane unexpectedly becomes a millionairess, Jerry despairs of wooing her, but the sun never goes behind a cloud for long in Wodehouse: Jerry gets his Jane in the end, but only after a series of trials which raise the comic stakes to the author’s highest level
