Synopsis "The Man Upstairs"

The Man Upstairs And Other Stories by P. G. Wodehouse Wodehouse's well-known gift for satisfying plots and comic surprises is evident on every page, but there are also signs of his debt to earlier writers in the realistic tradition. Set mainly in London or New York, many of the stories concern ordinary people - shopassistants, schoolmasters, secretaries, servants, unsuccessful writers - living the life of rented rooms and cheap cafes. Wodehouse knew well from his own experience. Yet there is nothing sad or gloomy about these tales. Far from it: they are brimming with life and energy, beautifully written and invariably delightful. And for Wodehouse addicts there is also a goodly sprinkling of goofy young men about town and their valets to satisfy the strongest appetites. Includes; The Man Upstairs Something To Worry About Deep Waters When Doctors Disagree By Advice Of Counsel Rough-Hew Them How We Will The Man Who Disliked Cats Ruth In Exile Archibald's Benefit The Man, The Maid, And The Miasma The Good Angel Pots O' Money Out Of School Three From Dunsterville The Tuppenny Millionaire Ahead Of Schedule Sir Agravaine The Goal-Keeper And The Plutocrat In Alcala We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

P.G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) fue un prolífico escritor británico, maestro del humor, famoso por crear personajes icónicos como Jeeves y Bertie Wooster, y por sus novelas ambientadas en la época eduardiana, ambientadas en lugares como el Castillo de Blandings, además de ser guionista de musicales de Broadway. Su vida, marcada por un exilio en EE. UU. tras ser acusado (injustamente, según una investigación del MI5) de colaborar con los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial mientras estuvo prisionero, terminó con un nombramiento como caballero, consolidando su legado como uno de los grandes humoristas del siglo.
