书籍简介

这是一本精彩的吉夫斯和伍斯特故事的集锦，是伍德豪斯自己特别挑选和介绍的，他被自己挑选的书的大小所震撼，形容它几乎是理想的纸镇。正如他写道:

“我写了这么多关于他的东西，现在想起吉夫斯第一次走进我的小世界时是多么温柔、多么平淡，我觉得很奇怪。他不向前挤，这是他的特点。那一次，他只说了两句话。

第一句是:

“格雷森夫人要见您，先生。”

第二句是:

“很好，先生，你穿哪套呢?”

A Jeeves and Wooster Omnibus

'Jeeves knows his place, and it is between the covers of a book.'

This is an omnibus of wonderful Jeeves and Wooster stories, specially selected and introduced by Wodehouse himself, who was struck by the size of his selection and described it as almost the ideal paperweight. As he wrote:

'I find it curious, now that I have written so much about him, to recall how softly and undramatically Jeeves first entered my little world. Characteristically, he did not thrust himself forward. On that occasion, he spoke just two lines.

The first was:

"Mrs Gregson to see you, sir."

The second:

"Very good, sir, which suit will you wear?"

It was only some time later that the man's qualities dawned upon me. I still blush to think of the off-hand way I treated him at our first encounter...'.

This omnibus contains Carry On, Jeeves, The Inimitable Jeeves, Very Good, Jeeves and the short stories 'Jeeves Makes an Omelette' and 'Jeeves and the Greasy Bird'.

作者简介

P. G.伍德豪斯(1881-1975)，英国当代著名作家。伍德豪斯是20世纪*伟大的幽默作家，风格诙谐风趣又充满智慧，备受推崇。《万能管家吉夫斯》系列是他的代表作，该系列曾被改编为电视剧《万能管家》，憨态可掬的倒霉蛋少爷伍斯特与足智多谋的男仆吉夫斯形象，在全世界广受欢 迎。

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (always known as ‘Plum’) wrote about seventy novels and some three hundred short stories over seventy-three years. He is widely recognised as the greatest 20th-century writer of humour in the English language.

Perhaps best known for the escapades of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse also created the world of Blandings Castle, home to Lord Emsworth and his cherished pig, the Empress of Blandings. His stories include gems concerning the irrepressible and disreputable Ukridge; Psmith, the elegant socialist; the ever-so-slightly-unscrupulous Fifth Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred; and those related by Mr Mulliner, the charming raconteur of The Angler’s Rest, and the Oldest Member at the Golf Club.

In 1936 he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for ‘having made an outstanding and lasting contribution to the happiness of the world’. He was made a Doctor of Letters by Oxford University in 1939 and in 1975, aged ninety-three, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He died shortly afterwards, on St Valentine’s Day.
