THE CLICKING OF CUTHBERT
Book ID/图书代码: 11701215B82255
English Summary/英文概要: he Oldest Member knows everything that has ever happened on the golf course -- and a great deal more besides.
Take the story of Cuthbert, for instance. He’s helplessly in love with Adeline, but what use are his holes in one when she’s in thrall to Culture and prefers rising young writers to winners of the French Open? But enter a Great Russian Novelist with a strange passion, and Cuthbert’s prospects are transformed. Then look at what happens to young Mitchell Holmes, who misses short putts because of the uproar of the butterflies in the adjoining meadows. His career seems on the skids -- but can golf redeem it?
In this collection, the kindly but shrewd gaze of the Oldest Member picks out some of the funniest stories Wodehouse ever wrote.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 资深的会员知道发生在高尔夫球场上的一切,而且还有很多不为人知的。
比如库斯伯特的故事。他无奈地爱上了阿德琳,但当这位女士受文化影响,钟情于一位冉冉升起的年轻作家,而非法国冠军,一杆进洞的绝技又能有何用呢? 带着一种奇特的热情,一位伟大的俄罗斯小说家登场了,库斯伯特的前景就此发生了改变。再来看看年轻的米切尔·霍姆斯身上又发生了什么故事,他因附近草坪上喧闹声,而错失了短推杆进洞的良机。他的职业生涯看似岌岌可危,但高尔夫球能帮他扳回颓势吗?
在本书中,资深俱乐部成员,用独具慧眼的目光,挑出了沃德豪斯写过的一些最有趣的故事。(Sandy)
