Sinossi
Grande fermento al Castello di Blandings. Tutti gli ospiti del maniero di Lord Emsworth stanno aspettando con impazienza l’evento più atteso dell’anno: l’assegnazione del premio per la categoria Suini Grassi alla Mostra Agricola dello Shropshire. L’Imperatrice di Blandings vi si sta preparando, sotto lo sguardo amorevole del conte, con colossali pasti, smaniosa di accaparrarsi per la terza volta il tanto ambito riconoscimento. Ma un vicino geloso, il perfido Sir Parsloe, sta escogitando un diabolico piano per ribaltare il pronostico…
Intense love stories, beffe feroci, occasioni mondane, drammi famigliari si affastellano attorno a quel subdolo complotto, che vede tutti coinvolti: dalla rigida e inflessibile sorella del conte, Lady Constance, al libertino e ineffabile fratello, Galahad; dal pachidermico e imbalsamato maggiordomo Beach, al leggendario ed etilico porcaio Wellbeloved, a un detective con l’«innegabile» pregio di essere donna.

There was only one P.G. Wodehouse for silliness with charm and style, he had it all and none since caught the spirit. The aristocrats, the wealthy are ribbed however never with cruel malice, the comedy writer painted with a light brush. The usual shenanigans transpire never worry bad situations will Leggi tutto
The first Wodehouse book I ever read. I was in love from page 1, and subsequently read almost all of the eighty-odd books he ever wrote. Full of absurd, wildly wonderful plots, quirky characters, and wit so dry you could burn your fingers on it. P.G.'s books always have a happy ending, so be prepare Leggi tutto
This is a most extraordinary but extremely funny story about two pigs who will be taking part in the annual Fat Pig competition. The Empress of Blandings, owned by Lord Emsworth, is felt to surely win the competition as he has already done so for the past two years. Unfortunately, his neighbour, Sir Leggi tutto
"If you like your baronets slender and willowy, you would not have cared much for Sir Gregory Parsloe." (36) Needing a bit of cheer, I decided to sneak in another Wodehouse. I was not disappointed—in fact, I am going to stick my neck out here and say that Pigs Have Wings is the funniest of the Blandi Leggi tutto
In the MAGA Nightmare-days that we're all going through - for who knows how much longer! - I'm reminded daily of the foolproof adage: "Laughter is the best medicine." One of my personal 'physicians' is P.G. Wodehouse. (I consult certain trusted 'specialists' and I'm always on the lookout for others. Leggi tutto
In this groundbreaking treatise, Wodehouse has set out to answer some of the most perplexing questions of mankind, such as: what to do when you unexpectedly find a large pig in your kitchen? Should you feed your pig weight loss drugs? Where should a thirsty pig man find his drink when his master has Leggi tutto
I really do appreciate the Blandings Castle books of PG Wodehouse. The characters are larger than life and magnificent in their individual traits. Here both of the pigs vying for the Silver medal at the Fat Pigs event at the local agricultural show are stolen at different times but are returned in th Leggi tutto
