| Summary |
"Carry On, Jeeves" by P.G. Wodehouse is a comic novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces the charmingly inept Bertie Wooster, who is deeply dependent on his remarkably competent valet, Jeeves. Their adventures through the upper crust of British society reflect themes of class, wit, and the absurdities of love and friendship, setting the stage for delightful misunderstandings and humorous escapades. The opening of the book establishes the dynamic between Bertie and Jeeves as Bertie reflects on his life and acknowledges his reliance on Jeeves's genius. The story kicks off when Bertie returns home after a disrupted visit, only to realize that he has an urgent telegram from his fiancée, Florence Craye, summoning him back to Easeby. As Bertie prepares for the journey, he finds himself grappling with the realities of his engagement and an unexpected plot twist involving a potentially scandalous manuscript written by his uncle. The humor is evident through Bertie's observations and thoughts, particularly regarding his engagement with the authoritative yet unpredictable Jeeves navigating the ensuing chaos.
