Synopsis "Right Ho, Jeeves"

P. G. Wodehouse was one of the greatest comic author of the 20th century. Right Ho, Jeeves was the second novel featuring Jeeves and was published in the US under the title Brinkley Manor. An article published in August 29th 2009 in the British newspaper The Gardian states that Right Ho, Jeeves was voted number 1 in the "best comic book by English writer" category in a recent internet pool. In another pool, "top 10 funniest book" according to a well-known book seller website in the UK, Right Ho, Jeeves was again number 1. In 1996, John Le Carré, author of the international best-seller The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, wrote: "No library, however humble, is complete without its well-thumbed copy of Right Ho, Jeeves, by P.G. Wodehouse, which contains the immortal scene of Gussie Fink-Nottle, drunk to the gills, presenting the prizes to the delighted scholars of Market Snodsbury Grammar School". In 2012, Christian Science Monitor listed Right Ho, Jeeves as number ten in a list of the ten best comic works in all literature.

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.
