Sinopsis

Something New is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse.áThe novel introduces Lord Emsworth of Blandings Castle, whose home and family reappear in many of WodehouseâÇÖs later short stories and novels, in a new preface added to Something Fresh in 1969, Wodehouse dubbed this series of stories 'the Blandings Castle Saga'. áPlot introductionáYoung neighbours and fellow-writers Ashe Marson and Joan Valentine, newly met and both in need of a change of direction, find themselves drawn down to Blandings, for various reasons attempting to retrieve a scarab belonging to an American millionaire, absent-mindedly purloined by Lord Emsworth. Once within the CastleâÇÖs idyllic walls, despite impersonating servants, romance cannot help but blossom, meanwhile, Freddie Threepwood, engaged to the millionaireâÇÖs daughter, is worried about some incriminating letters. ááAbout the author:áSir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, (15 October 1881 - 14 February 1975) was an English writer whose body of work includes novels, collections of short stories, and musical theatre. Wodehouse enjoyed enormous popular success during a career of more than seventy years and his prolific writings continue to be widely read. Despite the political and social upheavals that occurred during his life, much of which was spent in France and the United States, WodehouseâÇÖs main canvas remained that of pre-war English upper-class society, reflecting his birth, education, and youthful writing career.ááAn acknowledged master of English prose, Wodehouse has been admired both by contemporaries such as Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Rudyard Kipling and by modern writers such as Douglas Adams, Salman Rushdie, Zadie Smith and Terry Pratchett. Journalist and writer Christopher Hitchens commented, '... there is not, and never will be anything to touch him.'áBest known today for his short stories, Wodehouse was also a playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of 15 plays and of 250 lyrics for some 30 musical comedies, many of them produced in collaboration with Jerome Kern and Guy Bolton. He worked with Cole Porter on the musical Anything Goes (1934), wrote the lyrics for the hit song 'Bill' in KernâÇÖs Show Boat (1927), wrote lyrics to Sigmund RombergâÇÖs music for the Gershwin - Romberg musical Rosalie (1928), and collaborated with Rudolf Friml on a musical version of The Three Musketeers (1928). ...
