UKRIDGE
Book ID/图书代码： 11701208B22547
English Summary/英文概要： Money makes the world go round for Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge - and when there isn’t enough of it, the world just has to spin a bit faster.
Ever on the lookout for a quick buck, a solid gold fortune, or at least a plausible little scrounge, the irrepressible Ukridge gives con men a bad name. Looking like an animated blob of mustard in his bright yellow raincoat, he invests time, passion and energy (but seldom actual cash) in a series of increasingly bizarre money-making schemes. Finance for a dog college? It’s yours. Shares in an accident syndicate? Easily arranged. Promoting a kind-hearted heavyweight boxer? A snip.
Poor Corky Corcoran, Ukridge’s old school chum and confidant, trails through these pages in the ebullient wake of Wodehouse’s most disreputable but endearing hero and hopes to escape with his shirt at least
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对于斯坦利·斐瑟斯通豪格·乌克里奇来说，金钱就是一切，当资金不足时，就得需要加大马力去推动一下。总是想着能发一笔横财，或是一夜暴富，心心念念地想着哪怕是不劳而获地捞一笔小财也好。乌克里奇让骗子的坏名声得到了实锤。他穿着亮黄色的雨衣，看上去活像一团芥末，他把时间、激情和精力(但很少有真正的现金)投入到一系列越来越奇怪的赚钱计划中。为一所狗狗学院提供资金? 给你一份意外的企业股份? 很容易操盘，提拔一位善良的重量级拳击手? 废柴一枚。可伶的柯基·科克伦，乌克里奇的老友和知己，在伍德豪斯笔下最声名狼藉但又最讨喜的英雄的这部热情洋溢的回忆里跃然纸间，狼狈出逃的他希望至少能带件贴身衬衣。(Sandy)

About the Author/作者介绍： The author of almost a hundred books and the creator of Jeeves, Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, Uncle Fred and Mr Mulliner, P.G. Wodehouse was born in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. After two years with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank he became a full-time writer, contributing to a variety of periodicals including Punch and the Globe. He married in 1914. As well as his novels and short stories, he wrote lyrics for musical comedies with Guy Bolton and Jerome Kern, and at one time had five musicals running simultaneously on Broadway. His time in Hollywood also provided much source material for fiction. At the age of 93, in the New Year’s Honours List of 1975, he received a long-overdue knighthood, only to die on St Valentine’s Day some 45 days later.
