Synopsis "Carry on, Jeeves "

First published in 1925, "Carry On, Jeeves" is P. G. Wodehouse's third collection of Jeeves and Bertie Wooster stories. All of the stories included in this volume first appeared in periodicals like the "Saturday Evening Post" including some that are reworked versions of stories that appeared in the 1919 collection "My Man Jeeves". In this volume, readers will find some of Wodehouse's most famous tales of the hapless and wealthy Bertie, his equally clueless friends, and his wise and pragmatic valet, Jeeves. The first story in the book, "Jeeves Takes Charge", introduces Jeeves to Bertie's life when he replaces his previous valet, who had been stealing from him. Many of the stories take place in New York and familiar characters, such as Aunt Dahlia, Bingo Little, Anatole, and Sir Roderick Glossop, make appearances in this collection. Wodehouse's tales are engaging, clever, laugh-out-loud funny, and enjoyably English in their sensibilities and dialogue. Jeeves, with his complicated plans and ability to solve seemingly any problem, is at his plucky best in this classic collection of Wodehouse stories. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

P.G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) fue un prolífico escritor británico, maestro del humor, famoso por crear personajes icónicos como Jeeves y Bertie Wooster, y por sus novelas ambientadas en la época eduardiana, ambientadas en lugares como el Castillo de Blandings, además de ser guionista de musicales de Broadway. Su vida, marcada por un exilio en EE. UU. tras ser acusado (injustamente, según una investigación del MI5) de colaborar con los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial mientras estuvo prisionero, terminó con un nombramiento como caballero, consolidando su legado como uno de los grandes humoristas del siglo.
