Psmith in the City showcases P. G. Wodehouse at his finest. In this sharp, witty novel we follow the irrepressible Psmith-an unconventional and effortlessly charming figure-and his steadfast friend Mike Jackson as they navigate the rigid confines of the New Asiatic Bank. Bound by the expectations of a corporate world that prizes order over creativity, Psmith refuses to conform. His irreverence for mundane office life and flair for bending the rules transform the humdrum routines of banking into a series of tellingly absurd encounters. For both seasoned Wodehouse fans and newcomers alike, Psmith in the City offers a clever satire of office life and a delightful foray into the antics of one of literature’s most eccentric and lovable heroes. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline.

关于作者
P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the twentieth century. Wodehouse was prolific throughout his life, publishing more than ninety books, forty plays, two hundred short stories and other writings between 1902 and 1974. Many of his recurring characters have become fixtures of English literature, among them feckless Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; and the bungling opportunist Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge.
