HTML: What ho! A new Jeeves and Wooster novel that is "impossible to read without grinning idiotically" (Evening Standard), penned in homage to P.G. Wodehouse by bestselling author Ben Schott ?? in which literature's favorite master and servant become spies for the English Crown.
The misadventures of Bertie Wooster and his incomparable personal gentleman, Jeeves, have delighted audiences for nearly a century. Now bestselling author Ben Schott brings this odd couple back to life in a madcap new adventure full of the hijinks, entanglements, imbroglios, and Wodehousian wordplay that readers love.
In this latest uproarious adventure, the Junior Ganymede Club (an association of England's finest butlers and valets) is revealed to be an elite arm of the British secret service. Jeeves must ferret out a Fascist spy embedded in the highest social circles, and only his hapless employer, Bertie, can help. Unfolding in the background are school-chum capers, affairs of the heart, antics with aunts, and sartorial set-tos.
Energized by Schott's effervescent prose, and fully authorized by the Wodehouse Estate, JEEVES AND THE KING OF CLUBS is a delight for lifelong fans and the perfect introduction to two of fiction's most beloved comic characters.… (mehr) |

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. Indeed, Aunt Dahlia embodies the milk of h. k. when set next to my Aunt Agatha, who sacrifices livestock by the light of the moon, and chews broken glass to sharpen her tongue. p.34 [Madeline:] “Lovely, lovely Bertie! Have you missed me?”
”As the slaves miss Pharaoh” p.44 The seventh Earl of Sidcup is a sore for sighted eyes. p.47 [Jeeves “…] I anticipate that the code will be transferred on a slip of paper concealed under Lord Sidcup's interval drinks.”
“Good God!” Colonel Stroud-Pringle gasped, his disbelief finally getting the better of him. “Under the interval drinks? Is nothing sacred? p.65 When Prebendary Miller appointed himself to say grace, he unconsciously spoke for us all: 'For what we are about to receive, may the good Lord save our souls.' p.134 I've often wondered whether Jeeves is wasting himself at my side when he could be answering a calling more suited to his talents – like ruling benevolently over Imperial Rome. p.154 I examined the vulgar, jingoistic knick-knack with a jaded eye. “I would go so far as to say, Madeline, that this snuff-box captures the very essence of Roderick Spode.” p.181 'That's one school of thought,' I said, 'though not a very well-attended school.' p. 184 It is, as Jeeves would say, a hypothesis that defies scientific validation. p.187 | |
