Sinopse

A P. G. Wodehouse novel It's America during Prohibition and shy young George Finch is setting out as an artist - without the encumbrance of a shred of talent. George falls in love with Molly, whose imperious stepmother Mrs Waddington insists he's not the man to marry the stepdaughter of one of New York's most fashionable hostesses. Poor George - he doesn't seem to stand a chance. How George eventually triumphs over the bossy Mrs Waddington makes for a dizzying plot featuring some of Wodehouse's most appealing minor characters - Mullett the butler and his light-fingered girlfriend Fanny, J. Hamilton Beamish, author of the dynamic Beamish Booklets, Officer Garroway the poetic policeman, and Sigsbee H. Waddington, the hen-pecked husband who longs for the wide open spaces of the West. Oh, and does Prohibition mean there's no booze? In a Wodehouse novel? You'll have to wait and see.

    Discover William Tenn's brilliantly satirical science fiction classic 'Venus Is a Man's World,' where gender roles are hilariously reversed. In this thought-provoking tale, Earth's male population has been decimated by war, creating a society where men are rare, pampered commodities and women hold all positions of power. When young Elspeth Marriner travels to Venus—a planet colonized exclusively by men fleeing female domination—she experiences culture shock of cosmic proportions. Tenn's biting wit and social commentary shine in this prescient exploration of gender politics that remains surprisingly relevant decades after its 1951 publication. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction that challenges societal norms while delivering sharp humor and unforgettable characters.
