My Man Jeeves (Annotated)

Length6h 59m
About this audiobook
My Man Jeeves gathers eight comic stories that introduce P. G. Wodehouse's immortal pairing of the amiable, hapless Bertie Wooster and his serenely omniscient valet, Jeeves, alongside tales featuring Reggie Pepper, an earlier prototype of the Wodehousian gentleman-narrator. Written in a brisk, conversational style rich with verbal wit, social absurdity, and impeccably timed reversals, the collection belongs to the golden age of English comic fiction, gently satirizing class manners, romantic entanglements, and the rituals of Edwardian and post-Edwardian leisure. P. G. Wodehouse, born in 1881, developed his craft through journalism, lyric-writing, and serial fiction, experiences that sharpened his ear for dialogue and comic structure. His transatlantic career, moving between Britain and America, helped shape the cosmopolitan settings and theatrical pacing of these stories. Jeeves emerged from Wodehouse's fascination with social performance: the servant who understands aristocratic life better than his masters became one of modern comedy's great inventions. This volume is essential for readers seeking the origins of Wodehouse's most celebrated comic universe. It is especially recommended to admirers of elegant prose, farce without cruelty, and humor constructed with architectural precision.
