Книга: Wodehouse P. G. «The Smile that Wins»
![]() |
Производитель: "Arrow" This collection contains two of the best Jeeves stories, in which the gentleman s gentleman endeavours to smooth over Bertie Wooster s relentless haplessness. Add in the story of a private detective who can make the guilty confess simply by smiling at them, told by one of Wodehouse s greatest raconteurs, and you ve got an assortment of Wodehouse delights in which lunacy and comic exuberance reign supreme. 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. Shares in an accident syndicate? Easily arranged. Finance for a dog college? It`s yours. And if you throw in some cats, flying unexpectedly from windows, and a young man trying ever-more-desperately to impress the family of his latest love, you get a medley of Wodehouse delights in which lunacy and comic exuberance reign supreme.
