Información de este libro electrónico

Los Gedge viven en un pueblecito idílico, y en una mansión no menos maravillosa. Lo que no saben es que dos ladrones de guante muy blanco codician sus diamantes. La señora Gedge, por su parte, ambiciona para su marido la embajada de los Estados Unidos en Francia, y para conseguirla está dispuesta a utilizar incluso el chantaje. Y su presunta víctima es el influyente senador Opal, padre de Jane, una enamoradiza jovencita... Y con estos ingredientes y algunos más típicos del irresistible humor de Wodehouse como por ejemplo uno de los muy ingleses ladrones de guante blanco, disfrazado de impecable aristócrata francés, el lector ya tiene la diversión asegurada.

Autor

P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English author. Though he was named after his godfather, the author was not a fan of his name and more commonly went by P.G Wodehouse. Known for his comedic work, Wodehouse created reoccurring characters that became a beloved staple of his literature. Though most of his work was set in London, Wodehouse also spent a fair amount of time in the United States. Much of his work was converted into an “American” version, and he wrote a series of Broadway musicals that helped lead to the development of the American musical. P.G Wodehouse’s eclectic and prolific canon of work both in Europe and America developed him to be one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century.

    4/5
    Marvelously convoluted comedy showing a keen insight into community/social interaction and individual motivation.

    This novel is set in a French town, in a chateau which is being rented out by the wealthy Mr and Mrs Gedge. A steady stream of visitors arrive, many of them not who they seem to be... There’s a large cast of main characters in this book. I found it difficult, at times, to keep track of who was whom, particularly when so many were masquerading as someone else. By the time I was about three-quarters of the way through I had to re-read the first couple of chapters, as I’d forgotten some of what had happened.The story is a complex farce, and I found it quite amusing in places. It's written in classic Wodehouse style with literary allusions, unexpected encounters, and some cleverly-written action. Recommended if you like PG Wodehouse, but although it's considered one of his best works, I personally prefer the Jeeves series.

    A fun stand-alone novel written in the 1930s set mostly in France.

    Not my favourite Wodehouse novel but “Hot Water” features enough top comedy to make it a worthwhile read.

    Just how many people can be masquerading under false names and trying to break into the safe in one château? The answer would seem to be somewhere in the region of eight - and when you add in a few engagements (mostly secret or fake), blackmail plots, private detectives (also mostly secret or fake), political conspiracies, and drunken lizards, chaos is bound to ensue. This book is very, very funny. A particularly farcical farce, filled with characters possessing a superabundance of character. The plot is completely, splendidly ridiculous. The language is a treat, and the sheer insanity as the whole thing builds up to an absurdly complicated climax is wonderful. Pure entertainment.

    Like Wodehouse's book "French Leave", this is a twist on the usual Wodehouse with a plot centred on Americans in France, no doubt to appeal to his growing American public at that time. The format doesn't work that well for me.
