Pelham Wodehouse Libros

Los libros de Wodehouse son magníficos ejemplos del mejor humor inglés, y Tío Fred en primavera es una de sus mejores obras. El personaje que le da título es un viejo loco que aprovecha los ocasionales viajes de su severa esposa al sur de Francia para escapar de los confines de su mansión rural y visitar a su eternamente melancólico (y también predispuesto a los ataques del romanticismo) sobrino Pongo Twistleton. La conjunción de la ostentosa personalidad de tío Fred y la tendencia al pesimismo de Pongo, combinadas con un poderoso instinto de conservación, crea una pareja cómica que incluso puede rivalizar con la formada por los inconmensurables Jeeves y Wooster. La trama es demasiado compleja para resumirla aquí. Baste decir que los protagonistas deciden visitar ese paraíso terrenal que es el castillo de Blandings, donde coinciden con Lord Emsworth, Connie, Baxter, Beach y donde se produce la rara aparición del primogénito de Lord Emsworth, Lord Bosham, que supera todas las expectativas demostrando ser un tarugo mucho mayor que su padre y su hermano menor juntos.

Torturado por hermanas, sobrinos, y demás parientes que desean que participe más activamente en la vida familiar, Lord Emsworth se refugia en su lectura favorita, un manual sobre la crianza del cerdo. Con todo, ni siquiera esta literatura tan sedante logrará calmar sus nervios cuando el increíble Rupert Baxter comience a ejercer como autor del joven George.

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).

As always, Bertie is about to find himself in the soup (or 'up to the knees in bisque') and Jeeves is poised to pull him out - quite possibly after pushing him in in the first place. Contains The Mating Season, Ring for Jeeves and Very Good, Jeeves...

A Jeeves and Wooster Omnibus It is Bertie Wooster's habit to land in the soup from time to time. To get into a spot of bother. Circumstances, aided and abetted by Aunt Agatha, Aunt Dahlia, Bingo Little, Tuppy, Sippy and others, seem to conspire against him and a frightful muddle ensues. Enter Jeeves, the source of all solace. Jeeves of the infinite sagacity. Jeeves, that noiseless provider of deliverance from the hangover, a bird of the ripest intellect, calm and wise enough to rescue Bertie and his pals from the most fearful scrapes. Jeeves, that subtle master of prudence, good taste and ineffable composure. Where would that chump Bertie be without him? This omnibus edition will delight newcomers to Wodehouse as well as those already familiar with his sunny universe and his sparkling prose. It contains Right Ho, Jeeves, The Inimitable Jeeves and Very Good, Jeeves.

The delightful duo of Jeeves and Wooster offers a charming blend of humor and wit. Bertie Wooster, a well-meaning but bumbling aristocrat, often finds himself in absurd predicaments, while his unflappable valet, Jeeves, employs his intelligence and resourcefulness to rescue him. Their misadventures in the upper-class society of early 20th-century England highlight themes of class, friendship, and the comedic struggles of navigating social expectations, making for an entertaining read filled with clever dialogue and whimsical scenarios.

When the moon is full at Blandings, strange things happen: among them the commissioning of a portrait of The Empress, twice in succession winner in the Fat Pigs Class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show. What better choice of artist, in Lord Emsworth's opinion, than Landseer. The renowned painter of The Stag at Bay may have been dead for decades, but that doesn't prevent Galahad Threepwood from introducing him to the castle - or rather introducing Bill Lister, Gally's godson, so desperately in love with Prudence that he's determined to enter Blandings in yet another imposture. Add a gaggle of fearsome aunts, uncles and millionaires, mix in Freddie Threepwood, Beach the Butler and the gardener McAllister, and the moon is full indeed.
