Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - P. G. Wodehouse's beloved comic hero Archie Moffam returns in one of the great humorous novels of the early twentieth century. Good-hearted, hopelessly impulsive, and armed with an endless supply of slang and optimism, Archie repeatedly finds himself entangled in social disasters, romantic misunderstandings, family conflicts, and catastrophes of his own making. Yet through charm, persistence, and sheer absurdity, he somehow continues to survive polite society largely intact.Originally published in 1921, Indiscretions of Archie captures Wodehouse at the height of his comic brilliance. Combining sparkling dialogue, eccentric characters, impeccable timing, and the author's unmistakable gift for language, the novel presents a hilarious portrait of postwar society split between traditional expectations and modern irreverence. Archie's adventures move effortlessly between New York high society, hotel intrigue, romantic confusion, and comic social disaster, all rendered with Wodehouse's trademark warmth and precision.P. G. Wodehouse remains one of the most influential humorists in the English language. Best known for creating Jeeves and Wooster, he also produced a remarkable body of comic fiction filled with unforgettable characters, intricate farce, and timeless wit. Indiscretions of Archie stands among his most entertaining and accessible novels, showcasing the lightness, intelligence, and effortless comic rhythm that made him an international literary phenomenon.Ideal for readers of classic British humour, comic fiction, literary satire, early twentieth-century literature, and the enduring tradition of English comic novels.
