My Man Jeeves

Autor P. G. Wodehouse
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2019
"My Man Jeeves" is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, several of which concern two of his most beloved characters, the idle rich young English aristocrat, Bertie Wooster, and his clever and unflappable valet, Jeeves. Bertie and Jeeves, although they are minor characters, appear for the first time in "Extricating Young Gussie", which while not included in the original collection of "My Man Jeeves" is included in this collection. First appearing serially in several magazines before being published in a book in 1919, "My Man Jeeves" also contains several stories about Reggie Pepper, who was an early prototype of Wodehouse's more famous character, Bertie Wooster. Reggie appears in tales such as "Absent Treatment", where the wealthy and bored Reggie helps his hapless friend remember his wife's birthday so that she will allow him to come back home. Wodehouse rewrote many of these early stories to include Bertie and Jeeves and republished them in "Carry on, Jeeves" in 1925. This collection of nine stories exhibit the origins of Wodehouse's most famous literary creations, which would eventually solidify his reputation as one of England's greatest humorists. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Notă biografică

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881 - 1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century. Born in Guildford, the son of a British magistrate based in Hong Kong, Wodehouse spent happy teenage years at Dulwich College, to which he remained devoted all his life. After leaving school he was employed by a bank but disliked the work and turned to writing in his spare time. His early novels were mostly school stories, but he later switched to comic fiction, creating several regular characters who became familiar to the public over the years. They include the feather-brained Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; Lord Emsworth and the Blandings Castle set; the Oldest Member, with stories about golf and Mr Mulliner, with tall tales on subjects ranging from bibulous bishops to megalomaniac movie moguls. Although most of Wodehouse's fiction is set in England, he spent much of his life in the US and used New York and Hollywood as settings for some of his novels and short stories. During and after the First World War, together with Guy Bolton and Jerome Kern, he wrote a series of Broadway musical comedies that were an important part of the development of the American musical. He began the 1930s writing for MGM in Hollywood. In a 1931 interview, his naïve revelations of incompetence and extravagance at Hollywood studios caused a furor. In the same decade, his literary career reached a new peak. In 1934 Wodehouse moved to France for tax reasons; in 1940 he was taken prisoner at Le Touquet by the invading Germans and interned for nearly a year. After his release he made six broadcasts from German radio in Berlin to the US, which had not yet entered the war. The talks were comic and apolitical, but his broadcasting over enemy radio prompted anger and strident controversy in Britain, and a threat of prosecution. Wodehouse never returned to England. From 1947 until his death he lived in the US, taking dual British-American citizenship in 1955.
