Synopsis "The Inimitable Jeeves"

P.G. Wodehouse's The Inimitable Jeeves was first published in the UK on May 17, 1923. A number of short stories with the same characters were combined to create the book. It was initially intended to be a collection of stories rather than a single narrative.Everyone immediately turned to Jeeves-man Bertie's when Bertie Wooster or one of his friends found themselves in the soup or dangerously close to the tureen. He was aware of human nature, particularly that of gliding youth.Whether Bertie's cousins Claude and Eustace were playing dido or the hope of an old house had fallen in love with a waitress, Jeeves never let anyone down. He had a good mind.Jeeves was a purist, therefore the only area in which he fell short in the eyes of his master was his inability to constantly follow him in matters involving spats, socks, and ties. This was especially true in the Spring.

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.
