“To dive into a Wodehouse novel is to swim in some of the most elegantly turned phrases in the English language.”—Ben SchottFollow the adventures of Bertie Wooster and his gentleman’s gentleman, Jeeves, in this stunning new edition of one of the greatest comic novels in the English language. When Aunt Dahlia demands that Bertie Wooster help her dupe an antique dealer into selling her an 18th-century cow-creamer. Dahlia trumps Bertie's objections by threatening to sever his standing invitation to her house for lunch, an unthinkable prospect given Bertie's devotion to the cooking of her chef, Anatole. A web of complications grows as Bertie's pal Gussie Fink-Nottle asks for counseling in the matter of his impending marriage to Madeline Bassett. It seems Madeline isn't his only interest; Gussie also wants to study the effects of a full moon on the love life of newts. Added to the cast of eccentrics are Roderick Spode, leader of a fascist organization called the Saviors of Britain, who also wants that cow-creamer, and an unusual man of the cloth known as Rev. H. P. "Stinker" Pinker. As usual, butler Jeeves becomes a focal point for all the plots and ploys of these characters, and in the end only his cleverness can rescue Bertie from being arrested, lynched, and engaged by mistake!

3.0 El código de los Wooster

But the "friends" of Bertie in this volume were really annoying! 1) Gussie is an ass, is always asking for help and if he can't do a thing, first he t...

The Code Of The Woosters by P.G. Wodehouse My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book reminded me why I love the English of the 20s and the 30s. The language is just amazing.

4.0 The Code of the Woosters
Classic Wodehouse. It doesn't get any better than this...actually it doesn't get much different than this either. Perhaps that's not entirely fair. For me at least, The Code of the Woosters contains some of my favorite scenes and some of Wodehouse's most memorable characters. Herein his hero Bertie ...

5.0 The Code Of The Woosters (Everyman Wodehouse)
If you're having a bad day, just pick up some Wodehouse...you'll feel better instantly! Very funny...Bertie gets himself into various predicaments, and Jeeves is always there to rescue him. Wodehouse's writing is so witty--always good for a laugh!
