Biographie de l'auteur
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, (15 October 1881 – 14 February 1975) was an English humorist, whose body of work includes novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He enjoyed enormous popular success during a career that lasted more than seventy years and his many writings continue to be widely read. Despite the political and social upheavals that occurred during his life, much of which was spent in France and the United States, Wodehouse's main canvas remained that of a pre- and post-World War I English upper-class society, reflecting his birth, education and youthful writing career.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - A Man of Means is a sparkling comic sequence about sudden money, social ambition, romantic confusion, and the uncomfortable fact that good fortune often creates more trouble than it solves. Roland Bleke is an ordinary young man whose life changes when financial success comes his way through a series of lucky accidents. Wealth should make things easier. Instead, it draws Roland into awkward courtship, dubious ventures, social absurdity, theatrical schemes, publishing complications, and the kind of comic entanglements that only P. G. Wodehouse could make feel inevitable.Written in collaboration with C. H. Bovill, these six linked stories first appeared in magazines in the 1910s and follow Roland through the episodes of his improbable rise. The collection includes 'The Episode of the Landlady's Daughter,' 'The Episode of the Financial Napoleon,' 'The Episode of the Theatrical Venture,' 'The Episode of the Live Weekly,' 'The Diverting Episode of the Exiled Monarch,' and 'The Episode of the Hired Past.' Together they form an early Wodehouse comic narrative full of misplaced confidence, social climbing, amiable foolishness, and the cheerful collapse of well-laid plans.This SMK edition is suited to readers of classic British humour, comic fiction, early twentieth-century short stories, P. G. Wodehouse, light satire, and linked story collections. A Man of Means is a lesser-known but delightful part of the Wodehouse shelf: a brisk, funny, and highly readable reminder that money may open doors, but it also invites people, problems, and perfectly ridiculous complications through them.
