When Sam Marlowe falls in love with his cousin's sparky ex-fiancée he finds himself up against stiff opposition from her millionaire father, her father's best friend and the best friend's son for whom she is destined, all of them travelling together aboard the RMS Atlantic. Nothing daunted, Sam perseveres in his suit: though he fails at sea he eventually triumphs on land. This Anglo-American musical comedy in prose begins in New York, crosses the Atlantic in leisurely fashion and ends in an English country house where all manner of things go bump in the night.
Cuando O'Hara y Moriarty, dos chicos de la Escuela Wrykyn, alquitrán y plumas a la estatua de un pomposo diputado local, ha perdido los O'Hara en la escena de su crimen un bate de oro de pequeño tomado de Trevor, el capitán del equipo de cricket de la escuela. La trama gira en torno al destino de este murciélago y trata de recuperarla, pero el verdadero objetivo de la novela es un vívido retrato de la vida escolar. Aunque el escenario es una escuela de Inglés pública en los años anteriores a la Primera Guerra Mundial 1, tan agudo es el oído de Wodehouse por la forma en que los niños hablan todo el mundo reconoce los caracteres y situaciones familiares, cualquiera que sea su lugar de la educación.
Ten classic short stories by author and humorist P. G. Wodehouse tell the amusing antics and occasional mishaps of young gentleman Bertie Wooster, who regularly relies on the infinite wisdom of his consummate valet, Jeeves, for help. Lighthearted and delightful to read, these stories include some of the most popular from the Jeeves canon: "Jeeves Takes Charge," in which Bertie and Jeeves first meet, and "Bertie Changes His Mind," the only story told from Jeeves's point of view.
