Мне посчастливилось побывать на этом концерте и даже вручить букетик цветов Лене Новак. Габриэле Мощицкой букет вручал директор Польского культурного центра в Москве пан Пётр Сквечиньский.
With each passing year, it’s getting increasingly difficult to believe not only that people like that once actually existed, but that they were in fact not all that uncommon...
To put it into perspective, Wodehouse is of the generation between Lord Grantham of Downtown Abbey and his daughters, so he got a glimpse as a young adult of the aristocratic victorian and edwardian life before it began to come apart at the seams in and after the Great War.
Just been reading “PSmith, Journalist” which, being set among organized criminal gangs in New York, was a little bit edgier than I was expecting from him. Quite entertaining, all the same -- if you overlook the fact that some racial stereotypes have not aged well ...
Inspiring to see how PG Wodehouse actually was. I learned two things: he had a smiling, charming manner; and he followed an exercise regimen. That's how you stay happy and productive until 90!
I have always felt that the early writers of I love lucy Bob Carrol Jr and Madeline Pugh must have been avid fans of P.G Wodehouse because their humor is rather like seeing a Wodehouse novel ,one has to forget about logic and just enjoy the series of comedy of errors they spin ,its quite a coincidence that Wodehouse lived in New York from 1950 till his death And his novels based on Hollywood are my favourite ,as he describes a leading lady "the queen of stormy emotions" ,the rest of the cast and crew take refuge when she is on the rampage !
If you read some of Carl Hiassen's early novels they also leave you feeling that he's been a fan of Wodehouse. The subject material and style are different, but he has the same facility with language and a keen knack to squeeze every last bit of humor from a sentence.
Yes,Sir Wodehouse humorous novels are simply marvellous, you can't but laugh that the ingenuity of characters and plots. "Something fresh", Uncle Fred" " Blandings Castle " are all very funny. The Jeeves and Wooster books are indispenzable for a y serious buff of farce. Mr. Mulliners books are inreppresebly masterful.
Thank you for being right by my side during the worst and best times, Mr Wodehouse. Like your unforgettable characters you've spread sweetness and light with such ease and aplomb that some of it has rubbed off on me. While you may maintain that your books are not true to life, I maintain that there is something profound in your worldview and I find it absolutely essential to share your view to be able to take things as they come, in life. I wish you were alive and writing.
