The Pothunters
ジーヴスとウースターの楽しい物語を紡ぎ出す前、ブランディングズ城の奇妙な面々が形を成す前、P.G. ウッドハウスは『The Pothunters』でその独特のコメディの才能を世に知らしめました。1902年に出版されたこの魅力的なデビュー小説は、後にイギリス文学で最も愛されるユーモア作家の一人となる著者の心の内を、初期の段階で鮮やかに垣間見せてくれます。それは聴く人を、おなじみでありながら明らかにウッドハウス流の世界、つまりイギリスのパブリックスクールへと誘います。 ウッドハウスの比類なき機知と、散文における卓越した手腕の源流を理解したいと願う人、あるいは単に軽快なミステリーと穏やかな風刺で心地よい気分になりたいと願う人にとって、この基礎となる作品は、一世紀以上経った今でも新鮮で魅力的であり続けています。これは、彼の後期の、より有名な作品群を特徴づけることになる初期の輝きを示す、基盤となる一編です。
