Storm clouds loom over Europe. Treason is afoot in the highest social circles. The very security of the nation is in peril. Jeeves, it transpires, has long been an agent of British Intelligence, but now His Majesty's Government must turn to the one man who can help... Bertie Wooster. In this magnificent new homage to P.G. Wodehouse, Ben Schott leads Jeeves and Wooster on an uproarious adventure of espionage through the secret corridors of Whitehall, the sunlit lawns of Brinkley Court, and the private clubs of St James's. We encounter an unforgettable cast of characters old and new including outraged chefs and exasperated aunts, disreputable politicians and gambling bankers, slushy debs and Cockney cabbies, sphinx-like tailors, and sylph-like spies

Wodehouse’s much-loved characters, Jeeves and Wooster, fully authorised by the Wodehouse estate • Bertie Wooster is staying at the stately home of Sir Henry Hackwood in Dorset.

П. Г. Вудхаус считается главным писателем-юмористом Англии XX века, при этом почитателей его таланта одинаково много по обе стороны Атлантического океана. Для него характерно редкое сочетание ошеломляющей популярности и высочайшего литературного мастерства. Оно позволило ему не только завоевать любовь массового читателя, но и признание его коллег по цеху от Хиллэра Беллока до Грэма Грина. Некоторые его персонажи уже давно проникли в массовое сознание • В данный сборник вошли два романа, четырнадцать рассказов и фрагменты автобиографии Вудхауса • «Фамильная честь Вустеров» была написана в 1938 году, «Дядя Фред» – весной 1939 года, когда писатель был на пике карьеры. В рассказах отметились все самые популярные герои Вудхауса: Дживс и Вустер, Укридж, Бинго Литтл, мистер Муллинер, лорд Эмсворт и граф Икенхемский

«Левша на обе ноги» – сборник ранних рассказов П. Г. Вудхауса, впервые опубликованный в 1917 году. Он наглядно демонстрирует, как будущий классик юмористической литературы оттачивал своё мастерство и набирался опыта. Герои этих историй – говорящая собака, частный детектив, который хочет стать актёром, не умеющий танцевать банковский служащий, скверно выглядящий полицейский, помешавшийся на бейсболе бизнесмен и чёрная кошка. Внимание большинства читателей, скорее всего, привлечёт рассказ «Спасение Гасси», в котором впервые появляется камердинер Дживс, пусть и не в качестве главного героя. Как и сам Вудхаус, его наниматель, Берти (тётушка Агата у него на тот момент была, а вот фамилии не было) ещё не успел оценить способности своего слуги. Но во всех произведениях, вошедших в книгу, просматривается гений великого писателя

Paul McGrath is Ireland's best loved sportsman and also its least understood. An iconic football presence during a professional career stretching over 14 years, he played for his country in the European Championship finals of 1988 and the World Cup finals of 1990 and 1994. But, behind the implied glamour of life in the employ of great English clubs like Manchester United and Aston Villa, McGrath wrestled with a range of destructive emotions that made his success in the game little short of miraculous • That story has until now never been told. It is a story that runs from a hard, hidden childhood spent in Dublin's orphanages all the way to the pain of two marriage break-ups and the struggle to cope with life after football. Quite apart from his all too public struggle with alcoholism, the story runs through the surreal highs and calamitous lows of a life lived habitually on the edge of chaos
