Beschreibung

"The Small Bachelor" is a humorous novel written by P. G. Wodehouse. The story follows the misadventures of George Finch, a young man who has just graduated from Oxford and finds himself struggling to make a living in London. As George tries to find his footing in the world, he becomes embroiled in a tangled web of romantic entanglements, misunderstandings, and comedic mishaps. Along the way, George also meets a colorful cast of characters, including his eccentric uncle, a valet who speaks in aphorisms, and a group of young men who call themselves "The Heralds of the Red Dawn" and claim to be part of a secret society. With its witty dialogue, zany plot twists, and larger-than-life characters, "The Small Bachelor" is a classic example of Wodehouse's signature style. It offers a light-hearted and entertaining glimpse into the world of early 20th-century London and is sure to delight fans of the author's other works.
