JEEVES IN THE OFFING

Book ID/图书代码: 11701213B64882

English Summary/英文概要: This is a Jeeves and Wooster novel. Jeeves is on holiday in Herne Bay, and while he’s away the world caves in on Bertie Wooster. For a start, he’s astonished to read in "The Times" of his engagement to the mercurial Bobbie Wickham. Then at Brinkley Court, his Aunt Dahlia’s establishment, he finds his awful former head master in attendance ready to award the prizes at Market Snodsbury Grammar School. And finally the Brinkley butler turns out for reasons of his own to be Bertie’s nemesis in disguise, the brain surgeon Sir Roderick Glossop. With all occasions informing against him, Bertie has to hightail it to Herne Bay to liberate Jeeves from his shrimping net. And after that, the fun really starts.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 吉夫斯正在赫恩湾渡假,而他此时已经远离伯蒂•伍斯特的洞中世界。一开始,他惊讶地看到《泰晤士报》上刊登的他与善变的博比•维克汉姆的订婚消息。然后,他的伯母达利娅在布林克利的法庭上经证实,他发现自己从前可怕的校长准备参加Market Snodsbury文法学校的颁奖活动。最后布林克利的男管家发现这一切的起因都源于伯蒂的报复对象,脑外科医生Roderick Glossop爵士的原因。
随着所有的起诉状开始都指向他时,伯蒂不得不匆忙离开赫恩湾去解救陷入麻烦的吉夫斯。至此,真正有趣的一幕开始真正地上演…… (Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况:《Jeeves和Wooster》系列
是以有钱而没大脑的Bertie Wooster的口吻叙述的。他和他的朋友们常把自己陷入荒谬又倒霉的困境,而他足智多谋的男仆Jeeves总有办法拯救他们于危难之际。《Jeeves和Wooster》系列,或简称《Jeeves》系列小说,是伍德豪斯最著名的作品。它的价值还在于,里面有很多二战前英语俚语。比如Bertie 常说的"What ho!", "pipped", "bally",等等。这一点,伍德豪斯之于英国文学,与达蒙•鲁尼恩之于美国文学有类似之处。

"It’s dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I’ll risk it with him" (John Humphrys)

"For as long as I’m immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it’s possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day" (Marian Keyes)
